commit fe832132024c6f48b5c0ee4c71f13eb0996c228c Author: Kyösti Mälkki kyosti.malkki@gmail.com Date: Tue Nov 22 19:20:22 2011 +0200
Only BSP CPU writes CMOS in bootblock code
CMOS accesses are not safe for multi-processor and only the BSP CPU should count reboots and test CMOS sanity.
A questionable single byte CMOS read access from AP CPUs remains.
