Using static calls are to avoid retpoline, not to make them simple.

I am fine to use the separated cppc_set_epp_perf.

I didn't see any other driver to control MSR_K7_HWCR_CPB_DIS except
acpi-cpufreq.

I would like to clarify again the core boost state is for legacy ACPI
P-State, and it's configured by MSR_K7_HWCR. The CPPC is using the highest
perf to map the boost frequency. However, here, it's because of some
hardware/firmware issues or quirks that the legacy boost setting still
impacts the target frequency. So cppc_boost will confuse the user for the
functionalities between CPPC and ACPI P-State.

Can we enable core_boost configuration by default if using amd-pstate?

Again, the boost frequency and state is for ACPI P-State, we cannot make it
confused in the CPPC.

I didn't see where amd-pstate updates frequency max/min (limit), why we
keep the redundant codes here?

I didn't get your meaning what's "better cached hit rate especially for the
server cluster"? In my view, there is just different design no performance
enhancement. Since we already implemented in cpufreq_policy->driver_data, I
didn't see any visiblely improvement to change into this way.

Make sense , As I know, EPP driver dose not decide the max frequency, the frequency changes are totally controlled by
the pmfw and we do not need to set the boost state here.
Power firmware will adjust frequency at runtime between the idle frequency and max frequency.
So I remove the boost state checking code in v9 to avoid confusion.
