I am not quite sure what your question is. GX had some bugs where 
register settings were used as workarounds (as does every processor). 
The first LX port blindly copied all of them and "#if 0"ed the function 
that called them. Marc did the proper thing, and cleaned it up to only 
have the workarounds required for LX. If you are asking what those 
issues are, you can read the Errata document for Geode LX. You can get 
it on the AMD Geode developer's website.
