[PATCH v13 8/9] Documentation: cpufreq: amd-pstate: introduce the new cpu boost control method

[Perry Yuan]

From: Perry Yuan <Perry.Yuan@xxxxxxx>

Introduce AMD CPU frequency boosting control sysfs entry which used for
switching boost on and boost off.

If core performance boost is disabled while a core is in a boosted P-state,
the core automatically transitions to the highest performance non-boosted P-state
The highest perf and frequency will be limited by the setting value.
