The term "QoS" is already used for net/sched/. It will be bad naming to
have QoS - and then an AMD QoS / Platform QoS as well. Preexisting,
decade-old howtos may speak of enabling "QoS", and with the ambiguity,
the unsuspecting kernel builder apprentice may enable the wrong thing in
his config.

So either the QoS from networking gets correspondingly renamed ("packet
QoS"?.. or something), or else AMD QoS should be changed.
