[coreboot] Gigabyte M57SLI - some troubles with recent corebootversion

[Harald Gutmann]

Hello Scott,

thank you for your fast reply!

Your provided solution works fine to fix the MTRR problem on my board!
Just FYI, my CPU is the following:
model name      : AMD Athlon(tm) 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 6000+

I'm just thinking if your suggested place for changing the KConfig is the right 
one, as the other boards did that config in the socket directory.
And I guess that the model_fxx directory is used in several sockets. Therefor 
I think it would be better to add that config value in "cpu/amd/socket_AM2" so 
that other sockets don't get affected with this change.


Kind regards,
Harald
