FrontRunner/Toucan-AF: work around AGESA RAM init crashing on reboot

If you try to reset the system with outb(3,0x92), outb(4,0xcf9) or a
    triple-fault it will instead crash with a messy screen.  As the more common
    outb(0xFE, 0x64) doesn't work with our setup, Linux will crash whenever you
    ask it to reboot.  Closer inspection shows that on a warm boot of Coreboot
    agesawrapper_amdinitpost() always fails with error code 7.  Looks like DDR3
    re-init goes wrong somehow.  I tried find the reason for this but was
    unable to.  I am convinced this is not board specific but a bug in AGESA.

In the end I had to settle for a workaround:  if amdinitpost returns 7 this
    patch resets the system harder with outb(0x06, 0x0cf9), after that RAM init
    will succeed.  As amdinitpost is early in POST this automatic reset is
    quick enough not to be noticable.

I'd perfer a real fix, but that's all I have.
