Kernel 3.11.0-1.4 (based on the upstream 3.11-rc4 kernel) is now
available in Ubuntu 13.10 "Saucy Salamander". Also, kernel 3.11.0-2.5 is
in Saucy-proposed, which is based on the upstream 3.11-rc5 kernel, which
has some bugfixes for the new DPM method.

I neglected to mention that to use the new power management feature on R700 and
newer hardware (other than APUs) requires installation of the latest AMD
graphics microcode (ucode) files to /lib/firmware/radeon

Better power management for AMD/ATI Radeon R600 and newer hardware is

Bryce, I understand that it is probably standard procedure to mark
something like this as "Wishlist" but it is honestly bad enough that I
