So we should expose low-level hardware stuff to userspace to manage,
but not higher level software constructs? I fail to see the abiding
logic there. If anything, the inverse ought to be true.

I'd be happy with that - sounds to me like you're arguing for the same
thing. Sane default in kernel, can override from userspace if you like.
However, I've yet to see an implementation of the TPR usage that got
good performance numbers ... I'd love to see that happen.
