northbridge/amd/amdmct/mct_ddr3: Work around strange phy training issue

AMD Opteron processors contain a very fragile phy phase detection circuit.
    Additionally, the algorithm given in the BKDG does not function as intended;
    this was verified both on real hardware via execution trace and on paper
    with values read back from multiple CPUs and DIMMs.

As a result, the phy training algorithm given in the BKDG has been
    replaced with a phy training algorithm developed at Raptor Engineering.
    This particular patch is the first part of that algorithm; the code
    is updated in future patches but this should exist in the historical
    record in case something breaks down in the later sections of code.
