Jie Zhan 218a06a79d cpufreq: Support per-policy performance boost
The boost control currently applies to the whole system.  However, users
may prefer to boost a subset of cores in order to provide prioritized
performance to workloads running on the boosted cores.

Enable per-policy boost by adding a 'boost' sysfs interface under each
policy path.  This can be found at:

	/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpufreq/policy<*>/boost

Same to the global boost switch, writing 1/0 to the per-policy 'boost'
enables/disables boost on a cpufreq policy respectively.

The user view of global and per-policy boost controls should be:

1. Enabling global boost initially enables boost on all policies, and
per-policy boost can then be enabled or disabled individually, given that
the platform does support so.

2. Disabling global boost makes the per-policy boost interface illegal.

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
