Hi list,
In June 2012 I started a discussion on moving the radeon PM info out
from debugfs, into a proper place available to all, be it proc, sysfs,
or some other way. For the rationale please see the archives:

Jerome's reply at the time was that since big changes are coming, he
didn't want to commit to any ABI at that time. DPM has now landed.
Jerome wanted to implement a custom ioctl for unprivileged apps to
query the power details (and ideally other GPU info too). As now the
big changes have happened, what's the status on this ioctl?
Pre-emptive -enopatch: I'm not the right person to design an ioctl, with
exactly zero such experience in making kernel ABIs. I do volunteer to
making the userspace app that displays the values and info.
