You can.  You still have to make the mptable and irq table match, which
requires you to know what the values mean.

You could read the ROM, correct the signature, and put it in CBFS as
pci1002,515e.rom

You're right.  It looks like the signature in your ROM is not coming out
correctly.  You need to figure out why, or just try to ignore the bad
signature and see if you can get past it.  In Linux with the factory BIOS
you could see if the signature is still broken.

I don't know where Linux got that information.  It looks like it found all
16 cores, though.
