There remains an undiagnosed race condition in coreboot's Opteron
startup code that leads to an occasional (empirically this seems to be a
1 in 3 chance) hang in ramstage when the debug level is cranked up and
the AP console output is enabled.

I've been wondering if I should lower the debug level on the test stand
for this particular board to mask the problem, or if these occasional
reminders might prod someone to take a look at the problem?
