[LinuxBIOS] bus 0 dev 0 and fidvid change

[Lu, Yinghai]

Please check the issue 41, I make K8 MB can be compiled, and It include
bus0/dev0 and fidvid change enhancement

HT_CHAIN_UNITID_BASE
    Default is 1, and if it is 6, then amd8131 will be from 6, also
if it is 0, will assume ht chain only have one HT device...

HT_CHAIN_END_UNITID_BASE
    Default is 0x20 --- mean do not use that, if it is 0, the
amd8111 will be dev0
SB_HT_CHAIN_UNITID_OFFSET_ONLY
    Default is 1, so if HT_CHAIN_UNITID_BASE!=1, will only offset
unitid of SB CHAIN.

K8_SB_HT_CHAIN_ON_BUS0
    Deault is 0, if it is 1, will put sb chain on bus 0, even for
S2885 sb ht is on link2, it will put on bus0.

K8_SET_FIDVID in cache_as_ram_auto.c or auto.c
Fidvid change to sync the fid on 4 way or more system with different cpu
installed....
Put following sequence in your cache_as_ram_auto.c after ht is set.
enable_fid_change();
enable_fid_change_on_sb();
init_fidvid_bsp(bsp_apicid);
please check init_cpus.c and fidvid.c and amd8111_early_ctrl.c for
detail....

Ok, I found this one:

so what exactly does this do? It sets the position of an 8131 on a given
bus? Does this work for all 8131 in a system? What about the 8111?

And that 0 value - is that a special case? What is the connection to the
other functionality? Does that mean there is only an 8111 and no 8131?

Possible values: 0, 1, 6 ? Others?

do not use what? so i read:
- HT_CHAIN_END_UNITID_BASE == 0x20: 8111 on bus 1
- HT_CHAIN_END_UNITID_BASE == 0x00: 8111 on bus 0

why end unitid base? how is the correlation to HT_CHAIN_UNITID_BASE?

Possible values: 0, 32 ? Others?

What does that mean? Why would I only want to offset the unitid of the
SB? SB Chain? Does it change the meaning of HT_CHAIN_UNITID_BASE?

does this require an 8111 southbrigde?

I thought SMP systems need identical CPUs installed, according to AMD
BKDG? Is this option dangerous? Does it downclock faster CPUs to work
sanely in SMP context?

This is only needed if I want to use different CPUs?
