Yes that is true, however, ...

That is not the way the code is setup and it’s a long way from that.  Run time 
pause of drivers is a minefield.

With out a broad notifier they best you would hope for is some opportunistic 
change time (against full system).  You wouldn't have a guaranteed way to speed 
them up again where you need them most at high opp.

Some minimal kernel not using dma and the like could do it but that is probably 
more misleading to put in the tree than something useful for most.

Regards,
Richard W.
