acpi-cpufreq: Add compatibility for legacy AMD cpb sysfs knob
The powernow-k8 driver supported a sysfs knob called "cpb", which was instantiated per CPU, but actually acted globally for the whole system. To keep some compatibility with this feature, we re-introduce this behavior here, but: a) only enable it on AMD CPUs and b) protect it with a Kconfig switch I'd like to consider this feature obsolete. Lets keep it around for some kernel versions and then phase it out. Signed-off-by: Andre Przywara <andre.przywara@amd.com> Signed-off-by: Rafael J. Wysocki <rjw@sisk.pl>

+ The powernow-k8 driver used to provide a sysfs knob called "cpb"
+ to disable the Core Performance Boosting feature of AMD CPUs. This
+ file has now been superseeded by the more generic "boost" entry.

+ By enabling this option the acpi_cpufreq driver provides the old
