OK, this part is solved like below:

But this part:
> When I try to set `guided` manually via `echo guided | sudo tee /sys/devices/system/cpu/amd_pstate/status`, the status gets dropped to `disable`, `tee` errors out with `-ENODEV`, and there's this in the kernel log:

is not. I've successfully booted with `amd_pstate=guided`, then did this:
```
$ echo active | sudo tee /sys/devices/system/cpu/amd_pstate/status
```
just for the sake of test, and got this:
```
tee: /sys/devices/system/cpu/amd_pstate/status: File exists
```
and this:
```
kernel: WARNING: CPU: 9 PID: 8528 at drivers/cpufreq/cpufreq.c:2961 cpufreq_unregister_driver+0x1a/0xc0
```
which corresponds to:
```
2957 void cpufreq_unregister_driver(struct cpufreq_driver *driver)
2958 {
2959 unsigned long flags;
2960
2961 if (WARN_ON(!cpufreq_driver || (driver != cpufreq_driver)))
2962 return;
```
I haven't conducted this test before, so I don't know whether this behaviour is new, or it was present in older iterations. I also don't know if this belongs to the "boost" series or the "fixes", and just letting you know so that you can test the runtime switching yourself and see if it is reproducible in your environment as well or not.
