Yes, you need to change acpi-cpufreq driver too to use this common
infrastructure.

This is surely per policy as two separate clusters can have separate values.
And probably a better one would be scaling_boost_frequencies, that will
list all boost frequencies.

I am confused with these two names: boost and turbo.. Probably we
should use a single name everywhere. Because acpi-cpufreq is already
using boost, we might shift to that.

Obviously this one.

For now this feature would be enabled on all clusters and controlled
by cpu/cpufreq/boost.

Bingo!!
