The new cpb_boost can support all amd pstate modes including epp, guide,passive,
the old boost interface only support passive mode which leverage the cpufreq.c
Some customers request to add support for the boost control on epp/guide modes,
The legacy interface is not compatible with the new one, with new interface, it is more flexible
to add AMD specific control logic to the driver.
Meanwhile, putting the cpb_boost into the unified amd_pstate directory, it makes more sense to change
the feature state like status and prefer_core, there will be some other interfaces to be added.
So based on that, a new interface can work well and support customer request.
