Hi list,

So, i'm having problems with enabling L1 cache on this Pentium MMX
233. The current code (called after raminit still in non-RAM part)
goes here:

static void m1531_enable_l1(const struct mem_controller *ctrl) {
	uint8_t reg;
	asm volatile(
	"invd"	"\n\t"
	:: );
	reg = pci_read_config8(ctrl->d0, L1CDBC);
	reg |= 1;
	pci_write_config8(ctrl->d0,L1CDBC,reg);
	asm volatile(
	"movl %%cr0, %%eax"		"\n\t"
	"andl $0x9FFFFFFF, %%eax"	"\n\t"
	"movl %%eax, %%cr0"		"\n\t"
	::: "eax"
	);
	
}

And yes, i know that that code isn't exactly to the guidelines, but
after i get it to work i can work on that.

Including this code causes the board to immediately reset/reboot upon
trying to jump to coreboot.

The only clue/idea i've got is that maybe it needs some MSR stuff to
work, but i really don't know.

Any ideas, comments, etc welcomed.
