The patchset changed amd-pstate driver as built-in type to resolve the
driver loading sequence problem, otherwise the acpi-cpufreq driver will
be loaded as the default cpufreq scaling driver instead of amd-pstate.

Some new kernel parameters are added to allow user to disable pstate driver
and load driver with passive mode which use governors to do the
frequency scaling control.

* `amd_pstate=disabled` or no parameters will not load pstate driver.
* `amd_pstate=passive` will load pstate driver with passive mode.

Set the `amd_pstate` driver disabled by default because of performance
degradation on a number of AMD ASICs in the passive mode driver,
especially the shared memory support processors.

EPP support for the amd_pstate driver is under review. With EPP support,
the said performance issue is resolved. Once that gets upstream,
the `active` mode amd_pstate_epp driver may be enabled by default.
