cpufreq: amd-pstate: Add guided autonomous mode

Browse source

From ACPI spec below 3 modes for CPPC can be defined:

 1. Non autonomous: OS scaling governor specifies operating frequency/
    performance level through `Desired Performance` register and platform
    follows that.

 2. Guided autonomous: OS scaling governor specifies min and max
    frequencies/ performance levels through `Minimum Performance` and
    `Maximum Performance` register, and platform can autonomously select an
    operating frequency in this range.

 3. Fully autonomous: OS only hints (via EPP) to platform for the required
    energy performance preference for the workload and platform autonomously
    scales the frequency.

Currently (1) is supported by amd_pstate as passive mode, and (3) is
implemented by EPP support. This change is to support (2).

In guided autonomous mode the min_perf is based on the input from the
scaling governor. For example, in case of schedutil this value depends
on the current utilization. And max_perf is set to max capacity.

To activate guided auto mode ``amd_pstate=guided`` command line
parameter has to be passed in the kernel.
