Documentation: add amd-pstate kernel command line options
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
Add a new amd pstate driver command line option to enable driver passive
working mode via MSR and shared memory interface to request desired
performance within abstract scale and the power management firmware
(SMU) convert the perf requests into actual hardware pstates.

Also the `disable` parameter can disable the pstate driver loading by
adding `amd_pstate=disable` to kernel command line.

Use amd_pstate as a scaling driver, driver requests a
desired performance on this abstract scale and the power
management firmware translates the requests into actual
hardware states (core frequency, data fabric and memory
clocks etc.)
