Documentation: add amd-pstate kernel command line options
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. Acked-by: Huang Rui <[email protected]> Reviewed-by: Gautham R.
