+ Enables and configures p-state driver for modern AMD Ryzen and Epyc CPUs.
+
+ The available modes are:
+
+ * ``active`` This is the low-level firmware control mode based on the profile
+ set and the system governor has no effect.
+ * ``passive`` The driver allows the system governor to manage CPU frequency
+ while providing available performance states.
+ * ``guided`` The driver allows to set desired performance levels and the firmware
+ selects a performance level in this range and fitting to the current workload.

+ This will add the following two options to the Kernel commandline:
+
+ * ``initcall_blacklist=acpi_cpufreq_init`` Disable default ACPI CPU frequency scale
+ * ``amd_pstate={mode}`` Sets the p-state mode
