Description
In my own project, I've mocked every Sysman call used, so that I can verify code handling properly any of them working or erroring: https://github.com/collectd/collectd/blob/collectd-6.0/src/gpu_sysman_test.c
But it would be nice to avoid every L0 API user needing to duplicate the same work. Could level-zero frontend provide a dummy backend, that depending on e.g. env variable, either returns synthetized value according to some pre-determined formula (so that this value can be validated), or an error for the Nth Sysman call?
Contributor guide
First steps

- Fork the repository and make your change on a branch.
- Open a pull request that references the issue number.
Research direction
The issue links collectd's gpu_sysman_test.c; read that mock implementation first to understand the requested Sysman coverage. Then identify the Level Zero frontend/backend entry point, which the issue does not name, and determine how an environment selection could produce deterministic synthetic values or an error on the Nth call; done means L0 API users can exercise both paths without duplicating mocks.
