I haven't talked to Georgi about this. I can volunteer for
code-janitoring, but as you can tell I'll still need your oversight

Regarding the users, I don't have any specific promises on a consumer
of these abstractions in a short term, although the ICC API is rather
common (especially across the major arm-based SoCs), so it shouldn't be
long before someone needs it.
