Doesn't this require `EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL(global)` then? Otherwise with v6.8 I get this:

```
ERROR: modpost: "global" [drivers/cpufreq/amd-pstate-ut.ko] undefined!
```

If so, I'd pretty mush rename this to be less generic, say, `amd_pstate_global_params_struct` for the struct name itself and `amd_pstate_global_params` for the actual variable name.
