Yeah, thinking in retrospect 'cpb' doesn't tell you anything. We
should've called it 'boost' from the beginning. And it makes much more
sense to call it that especially now, when the two methods get merged.
Maybe we should add a 'boost' sysfs node too and slowly phase out 'cpb'
or even leave 'cpb' in powernow-k8 and call it 'boost' here from the
get-go... Hmm...

Yeah, can we move the powernow-k8 comment about the boost-state because
it is important:
/*
* On AMD clear the boost-disable flag on the CPU_DOWN path so that this cpu
* cannot block the remaining ones from boosting. On the CPU_UP path we
* simply keep the boost-disable flag in sync with the current global
* state.

You're unconditionally enabling boosting on driver load here while
powernow-k8 simply stated the current boost state. Also, a normal setup
should always come up with boosting enabled (I suppose on Intel too).
However, if you do this here, you're overwriting the boosting settings
a user changed in the BIOS did because a she wanted to turn it off for
whatever reason.
So let's only report the boost state here instead, huh?
