    "From: Borislav Petkov <borislav.petkov@amd.com>

    Starting with F10h, revE, AMD processors add support for a dynamic
    core boosting feature called Core Performance Boost. When a specific
    condition is present, a subset of the cores on a system are boosted
    beyond their P0 operating frequency to speed up the performance of
    single-threaded applications.


    In the normal case, the system comes out of reset with core boosting
    enabled. This patch adds a sysfs knob with which core boosting can be
    switched on or off for benchmarking purposes.

    While at it, cleanup the driver init codepath and update copyrights.

    Don't know if it is legit or not, though.
