    Provides methods for setting the performance mode of a device.

    In particular it verifies the machine is idle and cold and tries to set
    it into a consistent, high performance state during initialization.

    Furthermore it monitors the state of the machine (in particular
    temperature) and verifies that nothing bad happened along the way.

    Example usage:

    with PerfControl() as pc:
        if not pc.verify_is_valid():
