Perry Yuan 202e683df3 cpufreq: amd-pstate: add amd-pstate driver parameter for mode selection
When the amd_pstate driver is built-in users still need a method to be
able enable or disable it depending upon their circumstance.
Add support for an early parameter to do this.

There is some performance degradation on a number of ASICs in the
passive mode. This performance issue was originally discovered in
shared memory systems but it has been proven that certain workloads
on MSR systems also suffer performance issues.
Set the amd-pstate driver as disabled by default to temporarily
mitigate the performance problem.

 1) with `amd_pstate=disable`, pstate driver will be disabled to load at
    kernel booting.

 2) with `amd_pstate=passive`, pstate driver will be enabled and loaded
    as non-autonomous working mode supported in the low-level power
    management firmware.

 3) If neither parameter is specified, the driver will be disabled by
    default to avoid triggering performance regressions in certain ASICs

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
