OK. I also occured to me last night that we need this:

struct ht_link {
	struct chip *chip;
	unsigned int ht_width, ht_speed;
}; 

then:

southbridge amd/amd8111 "amd8111"
	register "north" = "{.chip = &cpu0, .ht_width = 8, .ht_speed=200"
end

and so on.  Make sense? Or not? I don't have the data book so don't know 
if the 8111 has more than one link.

For the CPUs we then have 

struct cpu_k8_config {
	struct ht_link up, down, across;
};

yes, and it should be, I had the same thought.

cpu k8 "cpu0"

	register "down" = "{.chip = &amd8111, .ht_width=8, .ht_speed=200}"
	.
	.
end

better?

p.s. the chip-specific structure for the PCI bridge will, of course, have
a pointer to the top of the PCI tree, and that becomes our link from the
static to the dynamic devices.
