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.
