Would you please explain?

Is it this in the cpu part or something else?
cpu k8 "cpu0"
	register "up" = "{ .chip = &amd8131, .ht_width=16, .ht_speed=600 }"
end

It is a fact that we must setup the coherent HT domain before we can
read the static configuration in LinuxBIOS so setting the register
information in the configuration file is way to late to use.
