What code ? For what machines ? It is implemented for PMU based machines
already by the kernel (see /proc/pmu/options). For Cuda machines, it's
not but I don't know if it's a software setting at all on these, an
earlier Cuda driver is available in Open Darwin to look at anyway.
Regarding the scheduled startup times, I haven't looked into detail yet,
it should be a rather simple PMU command though.
