cpupower: Enable boost state support for AMD P-State module
The legacy ACPI hardware P-States function has 3 P-States on ACPI table, the CPU frequency only can be switched between the 3 P-States. While the processor supports the boost state, it will have another boost state that the frequency can be higher than P0 state, and the state can be decoded by the function of decode_pstates() and read by amd_pci_get_num_boost_states(). However, the new AMD P-State function is different than legacy ACPI hardware P-State on AMD processors. That has a finer grain frequency range between the highest and lowest frequency. And boost frequency is actually the frequency which is mapped on highest performance ratio. The similar previous P0 frequency is mapped on nominal performance ratio. If the highest performance on the processor is higher than nominal performance, then we think the current processor supports the boost state. And it uses amd_pstate_boost_init() to initialize boost for AMD P-State function.
