Subject: [PATCH v2 01/16] cpufreq/amd-pstate: Store the boost numerator as highest perf again

commit ad4caad58d91d ("cpufreq: amd-pstate: Merge
amd_pstate_highest_perf_set() into amd_get_boost_ratio_numerator()")
changed the semantics for highest perf and commit 18d9b52271213
("cpufreq/amd-pstate: Use nominal perf for limits when boost is disabled")
worked around those semantic changes.

This however is a confusing result and furthermore makes it awkward to
change frequency limits and boost due to the scaling differences. Restore
the boost numerator to highest perf again.

 In some ASICs, the highest CPPC performance is not the one in the ``_CPC``
 table, so we need to expose it to sysfs. If boost is not active, but
 still supported, this maximum frequency will be larger than the one in

-different values for some cores than others and this will reflect the values
-advertised by the platform at bootup.
