I'm putting the pieces together but this will go lots faster with help.
If somebody can look at freebios2/src/via/southbridge/vt8231/vt8231_early_smbus.c and send me fixes for the actual correct code, that will save a lot of time.
If I can toss these kinds of tasks out and get help, we should be somewhere next week, which would be nice, and with true SPD support, not the mess we have now.
Then we can attack the -M.
