That doesn't help; config space accesses to the PCIe bridge devices
themselves are hanging.

I worked around the problem by replacing pci_locate_device() with
hardcoded PCI_DEV values, which should be okay for this chipset as
long as the northbridge and southbridge are always at the normal
addresses.

I managed to set up SerialICE on my board and get a few thousand lines
of tracing from the factory BIOS. I notice that it doesn't touch those
PCIe bridge devices at all early on. Is it possible that some
HyperTransport magic needs to happen to get them to behave?

Here's a dump of various MSRs right after the call to raminit_amdmct()
in romstage.c:

/* variable MTRRs */

msr c001001a=00000000e0000000
msr c001001d=0000000120000000

Another experiment I tried was to replace memset() with the original
assembler version of clear_memory(). With this change, the "Clearing
initial memory region:" step takes a fraction of a second vs. minutes
with memset(). Then things grind to a halt after "Stage: loading
fallback/coreboot_ram @ ...".
