A potential Todo on my list was to straighten out cache_as_ram on K8/K10
in the same way as we did on all the other functions, and that would
mean calling post_cache_as_ram() from assembler directly, so we don't
have to add the call to each and every romstage.c:main() function. That
might
include a second jump to a C function, or significantly stripping down
post_cache_as_ram() for those CPUs so it can easily be added in
assembler like on the other CPUs. What do you think?
