Hi,
Yes that make sense. In this patchset we are not doing any logical change from intel side,
as in all the json file "PerPkg" value map to '1', we are using same value in the
enum to not break that use case. And just replacing 'PerPkg' to new added field
`AggregationMode'.

But you are right, it will be good to have Ack from intel people. Any comments how we can push these
changes?

Thanks,
Kajol Jain
