The AMD P-state boost API is different from ACPI hardware P-states, so
implement the support for amd-pstate kernel module.
This commit log doesn't make sense. If these sysfs entries are used
for amd-pstate kernel module, why are they defined here.

Describe how these are used and the relationship between these defines
and the amd-pstate kernel module

Why are these amd specific routines added to common file.
Why not add them to tools/power/cpupower/utils/helpers/amd.c?

This logic here calls amd_pci_get_num_boost_states() ---
There is another routine called decode_pstates() in
tools/power/cpupower/utils/helpers/amd.c

Coupled with the above routines, the naming amd_pstate_boost_support()
is rather confusing.

Also why is this amd_pstate_boost_support() added to

  	} else if (cpupower_cpu_info.caps & CPUPOWER_CAP_INTEL_IDA)
