You should really clarify this :) I thought you want to have whole PM
in KMS controlled by user space app.

Hope I can quote you selecting just 3 sentences:
<glisse>        mjg59: i am not saying that kernel should not do thing on it's 
own
<glisse>        kernel should powerdown when it has good reasons to do so
<glisse>        i am all for saving power
So if I understand you correctly, you just want to have alternative
way of forcing some low power mode (from user space app). I think it's
totally fine, just as long as it's additional method on control and
base power control is in KMS.
