    viatool: Add utility to read various configuration bits on VIA systems
    
    viatool is a utility for extracting useful for extracting certain configuration
    bits on VIA chipsets and CPUs. It is a fork of inteltool.
    
    viatool is currently focused on "quirks". Quirks are device configurations that
    cannot be accessed directly. They are implemented as hierarchical configurations
    in the PCI or memory address spaces (index/data register pairs). Such
    configurations refer to hardware parameters that are board specific. Those
    parameters would otherwise be difficult to extract from a system running the
    vendor's firmware.
    
    viatool also preserves inteltool's MSR dumps. VIA CPU and Intel CPU MSRs are
    nearly identical.
