That actually is

        dev_pm_qos_add_request(dev, req, 100);

where req is used as a handle for your request (it may be used, for
example, to remove the request or update it).

Well, there may be an interface for drivers analogous to
device_wakeup_enable()/device_wakeup_disable() allowing them
to add/remove a sysfs attribute for user space to control
a single PM QoS constraint.  That even sounds like a good idea. :-)

Thanks,
