This one is subtle.  AMD does not really talk about cpu to cpu
link speed.  But there is no support of 1000Mhz being supported
until we get to the newest generation of chips coming out.

In addition I measured it on a dual cpu system and I could not
detect a performance difference based on the link speed so I decided
to play that one safe.

The 8131 very clearly has an errata that as I recall was labeled
wont fix that limits the link speed to 600Mhz.
