My idea about your changes 1. memhole move from raminit.c to northbridge.c, That is goog feature, but need to keep my code in init_ecc, to skip the mem hole. 2. dual core: create entries in cpu_bus_scan or in amd_sibling_init, later one may cause racing, if we disable CPU_INIT_SERILIZE on four way dual core and eight dual core. You know we really need to disable CPU_INIT_SERIALIZE otherwise init_ecc stage will take too long. 8x--->2.1x 3. you need to keep incoherent_ht.c ( K8_ALLOCATE_IO), I'm using that for multiple CK804 early access... 4. ext apic id mode only need for 8 way dual core. 5. dual core, if it is disable the apic id of CPU should be the same as pre-e0, instead of 0, 2, 4.... 6. for CAR purpose, I can not k8_init_and_stop_secondaries, because I need to go to __reset intead of __jmp to it. (somthing related to stack switch). 7. We need to use write_irq_tables intead of copy_irq_tables, I have append write_irq_tables in every MB irq_tables.c to call copy_irq_table. 8. You need to keep CK804_DEVN_BASE=0 in some files, according to NV, for ck804 if you change unit id, you may lose bus master support.

All,
After looking at the problems this "simple" commit caused, I've rolled it back to the revision before my commit (2005->2003). I'll go over these changes with Tom and Eric and try again later. My apologies for any broken builds.
