Or: how to start a multicore (hyperthreading) processor as if it were a singlecore (non-hyperthreading) processor.
To my knowledge, there is no such MSR for P4 Hyper-Threaded CPUs using the NetBurst Architecture. So SerialICE may need a patch for hyper-threaded CPUs to enable Cache-As-Ram, like coreboot does.
You've seen my cache-as-ram code with SIPIs for model f25 (P4 Xeon on socket 604), to enable cache on HT-enabled CPU.
From your responses (on e-mail) so far, I cannot determine where (if) it
stops with P4 models f29 and f49 on socket 478 (?). You have actual POST code PCI device, make wise use of it.
