It seems to me it doesm't just register, but actually keeps track of the
performance_state by always tracking the max.

This seems to only update the state if it's bigger.  Maybe I'm missing
something here, but it seems like won't be able to lower the
performance_state after it's been raised?

So subdomains are always assumed to influence the performance_state of
the parent domains?  Is that always the case?  I suspect this should be
probably be a reasonable default assumption, but maybe controlled with a
flag.

So is zero not a valid performance_state?  That doesn't seem quite right
to me, but either way, it should be documented.

Why?  This limitation should be explained in the cover letter and
changelog.  I would also expect some sort of WARN here since this could
otherwise be a rather silent failures.
