for the current pm_qos users its tiny. I've never heard of more than a few < 10. However; for the new "interactive" class to provide suspend blocker functionality, I expect the number to be up to 20.
but realistically I bet we never get more than 10ish.
One constraint constraint request per module from isr to user mode. Once in user mode there would be only a few (assuming Android user space) I think just from the power HAL, input HAL, and the RIL.
Still a pretty small number I don't think we need to worry about scaling as much as we need to worry about performance.
