Unless AMD recently changed their implementation, I think you're looking at the wrong information.
Boost states are not exposed as P-States to the OS, they are transparently used by the firmware if
1) the OS has selected P0
2) certain constraints are met (think thermal/power/# of idle cores/...)

AFAIK, the recommended tool to monitor boost behavior is cpupower.c from linux/tools - I believe Ubuntu is not shipping it yet though.
