There are now three smaller patches attached:
Much nicer! Thanks.
(1) Changes specific to this board. Fairly small changes from AMD Tilapia. Requires (2) to work.
From your mainboard's Kconfig:
+config DIMM_SUPPORT
- hex
- default 0x0004
- depends on CPU_AMD_SOCKET_AM3
This really worries me. You shouldn't need to change the type of memory on the Socket. I looked at your board online, and they suggest that your board supports socket AM2, AM2+, and AM3. That seems like it breaks our model. I thought AM2 was DDR2 and AM3 was DDR3.
Sorry to break your design, but that was what I had to do to get the RAM working. I can confirm that I am using DDR2 memory and the CPU is this:

In general, the fewer changes the better!
I agree. The patches could be smaller and neater.
However, I cannot hold on to this board for arbitrarily long, since I should put it to production use now that Coreboot is working. I will see what I can do to reduce these patches further, if I just find a suitable slot of time.
