You could write a bunch of units pulled in by a target... well, two targets,
one for power-saving and second for performance mode. And then just start the
targets from an udev rule. Just remember to use `--no-block` as udev kills
workers after some time.

I've already done something along these lines for my own purposes, see
https://github.com/intelfx/power-management

However, I still want to know if I this is OK wrt systemd "spirit".
