If the laptop booted with power cord plugged, but then goes on battery,
does this need to be run again?

Okay, I’ll send a patch series in a bit.  I was hoping it could be 
one commit, because it’s related, and sending a patch series is 
very annoying.

No, the settings persist across power plug/unplug events.

This matches the style used by every other package in the module,
