Subject: [coreboot] [patch 15/16] Query cpu instead of usingCONFIG_CPU_ADDR_BITS on AMD cpus

]This fixes a FIXME in src/cpu/amd/mtrr/amd_mtrr.c and shuts up the
]Linux kernel, which was previously complaining that the MTRR setup
]is wrong, if the cpu supports more than CONFIG_CPU_ADDR_BITS bits of
]address space.

Thank you Tobias. It also fixes a Win7 checked build BSOD when kconfig
CPU_ADDR_BITS is set too small. Tested with Kino-780AM2 by setting
CPU_ADDR_BITS to 36 and confirming 48 bits are set in msr 201.

It looks like Intel eventually adopted this cpuid feature, though
I have no way to test the Intel implementation.

One comment could be clarified:

- /* AMD specific MSR to query number of address bits */
+ /* AMD specific cpuid function to query number of address bits */

Thanks,
Scott
