My recollection of the evening was that the exposing of per device qos
latencies was not considered a good idea without better articulation on
how it would be used.  (or misused) 

FWIW a few folks (ok maybe just me) are not comfortable with exposing
raw values without a good enough abstraction for them to user mode such
that the values used through that user mode ABI would be somewhat
portable between ISA's or even versions of the same chips / platforms.
