 2. PM QoS per-device latency and flags framework
 
 For each device, there are two lists of PM QoS requests. One is maintained
-along with the aggregated target of latency value and the other is for PM QoS
-flags. Values are updated in response to changes of the request list.

-Target latency value is simply the minimum of the request values held in the
-parameter list elements.  The PM QoS flags aggregate value is a gather (bitwise
-OR) of all list elements' values. Two device PM QoS flags are defined currently:
-PM_QOS_FLAG_NO_POWER_OFF and PM_QOS_FLAG_REMOTE_WAKEUP.
