Open access to i915_perf monitoring for CAP_SYS_PERFMON privileged processes.
For backward compatibility reasons access to i915_perf subsystem remains open

i915_perf monitoring is discouraged with respect to CAP_SYS_PERFMON capability.

Assuming people are fine with this new cap, I like this idea of a lighter privilege for i915-perf.
