I think that all the revf/g processors support fidvid even if it can't
be changed. The S1G1 socket means revf and above and checking for
support really isn't needed. I think it is safe for a platform to make
some assumptions like that.

Have you narrowed the reset to the fidvid code?  After fidvid setup
there should be a ht reset as Rudolf noted. You can skip fidvid setup
for now. It just means that the processor will run at min frequency.
