/**
 * DOC:
 * The "Always on" power management policy has the following
 * characteristics:
 *
 * - When KBase indicates that the GPU will be powered up, but we don't yet
 *   know which Job Chains are to be run:
 *    Shader Cores are powered up, regardless of whether or not they will be
 *    needed later.
 *
 * - When KBase indicates that Shader Cores are needed to submit the currently
 *   queued Job Chains:
 *    Shader Cores are kept powered, regardless of whether or not they will be
 *    needed
 *
 * - When KBase indicates that the GPU need not be powered:
 *    The Shader Cores are kept powered, regardless of whether or not they will
 *    be needed. The GPU itself is also kept powered, even though it is not
 *    needed.
 *
 * This policy is automatically overridden during system suspend: the desired
 * core state is ignored, and the cores are forced off regardless of what the
 * policy requests. After resuming from suspend, new changes to the desired
 * core state made by the policy are honored.
 *
 * Note:
 *
 * - KBase indicates the GPU will be powered up when it has a User Process that
 *   has just started to submit Job Chains.
 *
 * - KBase indicates the GPU need not be powered when all the Job Chains from
 *   User Processes have finished, and it is waiting for a User Process to
 *   submit some more Job Chains.
