Congratulations.

I don't know where lspci gets its values.  It could be interesting to track
it down, but if it works...

It's possible that there is a mux in the way that needs to be set up
correctly to allow you to read the DIMMs on the other CPU.

That sounds like a different problem.  Maybe the mux idea isn't right.

I'd start by enabling the debugging output CONFIG_DEBUG_SMBUS.  I haven't
had to dig very much in that part of the code.

Thanks,
