cn700 & v3: if you comment out vt8237_enable()'s content in vt8237.c, it
might boot a payload, I'm tracking down the problem there right now. I don't
think we can use eg dev->pci.id.vendor in stage2.phase2? I want to clean
that up by the end of the night.

other cpus: I've got a Nehemiah C3 board here I'll try at some point, but
I'm focusing on c7 atm. I think the CPU is too different there, but I could
be wrong. If anyone wants to give me a Nano board, I'll try it out :D
