From ACPI spec[1] below 3 modes for CPPC can be defined:
1. Non autonomous: OS scaling governor specifies operating frequency/
   performance level through `Desired Performance` register and platform
follows that.
2. Guided autonomous: OS scaling governor specifies min and max
   frequencies/ performance levels through `Minimum Performance` and
`Maximum Performance` register, and platform can autonomously select an
operating frequency in this range.
3. Fully autonomous: OS only hints (via EPP) to platform for the required
   energy performance preference for the workload and platform autonomously
scales the frequency.

Currently (1) is supported by amd_pstate as passive mode, and (3) is
implemented by EPP support[2]. This change is to support (2).

In guided autonomous mode the min_perf is based on the input from the
scaling governor. For example, in case of schedutil this value depends
on the current utilization. And max_perf is set to max capacity.

To activate guided auto mode ``amd_pstate=guided`` command line
parameter has to be passed in the kernel.

Below are the results (normalized) of benchmarks with this patch:
System: Genoa 96C 192T
Kernel: 6.3-rc1 + patch
Scaling governor: schedutil
