Why limit it to just voltage levels.

As I suggested earlier, I think this should use OPPs.  Remember that a
PM domain is not limited to a hardware power domain, but is just a
grouping mechanism for devices that share some PM properties.  As
mentioned by Geert, this can also be a clock domain, where frequencies
would make sense as well.  One can imagine using this type of PM domain
to manage an interconnect/bus which has scalable voltage/frequencies as
well.
