    intel sandy/ivy: Improve DIMM replacement detection
    
    When MRC cache is available, first read only the SPD unique
    identifier bytes required to detect possible DIMM replacement.
    As this is 11 vs 256 bytes with slow SMBus operations, we save
    about 70ms for every installed DIMM on normal boot path.
    
    In the DIMM replacement case this adds some 10ms per installed DIMM
    as some SPD gets read twice, but we are on slow RAM training boot path
    anyways.
