Just for the record, and I was still planning to reply to your other
mail, not trying to hijack this thread at all.

I **completely** disagree on this. The non-unit index is a **horrible**
thing because it says **nothing** of interest to the user. The only
approach the user can then take is try which value will give him the
desired behaviour, and it will differ across all hardware combinations.
Therefore, it's completely _useless_.

What we really need to do is tie into the pm_qos framework and make
latency guarantees.
