Users are having more success with amd-pstate since the introduction
of EPP and Guided modes. To expose the driver to more users by default
introduce a kernel configuration option for setting the default mode.
Users can use an integer to map out which default mode they want to use
in lieu of a kernel command line option.
This will default to EPP, but only if:
1) The CPU supports an MSR.
2) The system profile is identified
3) The system profile is identified as a non-server by the FADT.

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.

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

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.
