Sets the AMD GPU power limit for the newly-created `amdgpu-default` GPU profiles in `tuned`.

A multiplier against the board power _capability_ | `0.928793` or ~`93%`, provides roughly 300W from my 323W board capability. | +| power_max_custom_multi | Same as above but for the non-default `amdgpu` profiles in `tuned`. eg: `...-amdgpu-{VR,custom}` | `0.82` or `82%`, my 6900XT defaults to ~87% -- allowing for slightly less power | +| gpu_clock_min | Sets the minimum (dynamic) GPU clock for the non-default `amdgpu` profiles | 2000, results in 2Ghz | +| gpu_clock_max | Sets the maximum (dynamic) GPU clock for the non-default `amdgpu` profiles | 2615, results in 2.62Ghz (rounded) -- mild overclock | +| gpumem_clock_max | Sets the _static_ memory clock for the GPU. This is *not* the _effective_ data rate. That is a multiple of this depending on the type of VRAM.

To avoid flickering this does *not* change dynamically with load. | 1075, results in 1.1Ghz (base, rounded) | +| card | Set the `card#` for the card to use.

For a hint if this needs changed:
`ls -lad /sys/class/drm/card[0-9]*` | `card0` -- assumes the first GPU | +| gpu_mv_offset | GPU core voltage offset. Takes +/- some integer in millivolts. Can be used to both over _and_ under volt. | `-25` (undervolt `25mV` or `0.025V`) | +| base_profiles | List of base tuned profiles to clone in the new AMDGPU profiles. Defaults based on `Fedora` |
