We do have the uclamp doc now which explains this, no? I'm not keen on utilization because it's an overloaded term. In the context of uclamp - utilization _signal_ in the scheduler is used to indicate performance requirements of a workload, no?
Using 'uclamp hint' if you found it really confusing, is fine by me. But I'd rather steer away from 'bandwidth' or 'utilization' when describing uclamp and its intention.
I like using performance requirements because it enforces what this hint actually means.
