I don't think we need both of east and west really. The Bios Developers
Guide calls these links "UP", "DOWN" and "ACROSS", for LDT0-2. 
It might still be interesting to have a topological view on the
hardware, but at least for hypertransport setup, east and west is equal.

register "north"     = "cpu0" 
    register "ht_width"  = "8"      # 8bit, even if device reports more
    register "ht_speed"  = "200"    # don't drive faster than 200MHz,
                                    # in case device reports false

register "north" = "cpu1" (for example)
    register "ht_width"  = "8"
    register "ht_speed"  = "200"

noise keyword?

^^^^^^^^^^^

can this not implicitly be generated from the below description?

^^^^^ south (iirc)
