I'd like to hear Marc Jones comment on the value of this feature.
My impression was that it has little value.
It has been a long time since I have looked at this too and my focus was really on the Fam10 stuff. IIRC the feature isn't used in the normal build of Serengeti_Cheetah. It apc_auto isn't built in if failover is used. With failover, HT reset, and memory init, it got extremely complicated (error prone) with this path and it didn't save that much time. Did those other platforms really use it or was it just an option left in?
What does Ward's K8 platforms use?
