Currently we have {cpu_dma_latency, network_latency, network_throughput} as the

+Each parameters have defined units:

The infrastructure exposes multiple misc device nodes one per implemented
parameter. The set of parameters implement is defined by pm_qos_power_init()
and pm_qos_params.h. This is done because having the available parameters
