Having taken a quick look, I think the API change makes a lot of
sense.  Hot paths are one thing; avoidance of accidental conflicts
would be another.

One question, though...  one clear use of this API is for drivers to
say "don't go into C3 or deeper because things go wrong"; I'm about to
add another one of those.  It works, but the use of a
PM_QOS_CPU_DMA_LATENCY requirement with a hard-coded number that one
hopes is small enough seems a bit...indirect.  I wonder if it would be
clearer and more robust to add a new requirement^Wrequest type saying
"the quality of service I need is shallow sleeps only"?
