That's not runpm, that's dpm (dynamic power management). Runpm turns the dGPU
off completely when it's not in use. Dpm dynamically adjusts the clocks and
voltages of the GPU when it's powered on. Prior to 3.13, runpm was not
available and the dGPU was always powered on unless you manually powered it off
via debugfs.
