There are several people that have working (at varying levels) of
Fam10 systems. So, most stuff does work. We knocked out a few bugs
this week that should help more people get their configurations
running.

The AMD_CB_Cpu2RCBLimits is NULL because coreboot doesn't limit the HT
frequency. The limit would be an upper limit not lower, since HT all
start at 200MHz.

The requirement in mctAutoInitMCT_D is that HT init be done and that
includes the reset. coreboot should fail in the HT init phase if it
can't be initialized and you wouldn't get to mctAutoInitMCT_D.
