I'm afraid there is not.

They are supposed to be filled out by the SPDROM setup 
code of LinuxBIOS. Leave them untouched.

AFAIK this should stay untouched as well to be set up 
by LinuxBIOS.

It is the upper bit range, so you automatically set these 
given a certain alignment.

No, have a look at the island/aruma board. It has 8131 
hanging off every single CPU.
