In the long term, would it be possible to do this stuff from the OS, not some bios setup screen? Or is it too late by the time the OS is booted? On the SiS 630 we controlled overclocking parameters via a user mode command once Linux had booted, but that was long ago ... do the new chips make this easier, or harder?
Even if it has no immediate effect, exposing such options over nvram (and so they can be modified from the OS using nvramtool) is the right thing to do.
We'll have to reconsider once there's actual hardware without old-style nvram (SMM emulated nvram backed by flash? ;-) )
