[coreboot] AMDk8 - HT routing

[Viswesh S]

Hi,

But when you read the registers of Node7, as the device is not there, what value will it return, if we try to read any register, say 0x6c for getting the default link.

val = pci_read_config32(NODE_HT(7), 0x6c);   // What value does get return, as node7 is not there.
 byte = (val>>2) & 0x3; /*get default link on node7 to node0*/

Hi Viswesh,

All AP nodes are node7 until they have been found and initialized by the 
BSP. The BSP looks at each active link and then sets the nodeids.
