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.

Adds online and offline driver callback support to allow cpu cores go
offline and help to restore the previous working states when core goes
back online later for EPP driver mode.

Add EPP driver support for AMD SoCs which support a dedicated MSR for
CPPC. EPP is used by the DPM controller to configure the frequency that
a core operates at during short periods of activity.
The SoC EPP targets are configured on a scale from 0 to 255 where 0
represents maximum performance and 255 represents maximum efficiency.
The amd-pstate driver exports profile string names to userspace that are
tied to specific EPP values.
The balance_performance string (0x80) provides the best balance for
efficiency versus power on most systems, but users can choose other
strings to meet their needs as well.
$ cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpufreq/policy0/energy_performance_available_preferences
default performance balance_performance balance_power power
$ cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpufreq/policy0/energy_performance_preference
balance_performance
To enable the driver,it needs to add `amd_pstate=active` to kernel
command line and kernel will load the active mode epp driver

amd_pstate_param()
The amd-pstate driver may support multiple working modes.
Introduce a variable to keep track of which mode is currently enabled.
Here we use cppc_state var to indicate which mode is enabled.
This change will help to simplify the the amd_pstate_param() to choose
which mode used for the following driver registration.

Expose struct amd_cpudata to AMD P-State unit test module.
This data struct will be used on the following AMD P-State unit test
(amd-pstate-ut) module. The amd-pstate-ut module can get some
AMD infomations by this data struct. For example: highest perf,
nominal perf, boost supported etc.
