Dear sir,

I've worked with coreboot as hobby work.

I'd tested coreboot on Intel Z520P/US15WP chipset & found that it was
not working.

I reverse engineered original bios developed for that board &  found that the
first instruction it was executing immediately after CPU reset was
wbinvd ( writeback & invalidate cache) instead of directly jump
instruction.

In file reset.inc
After entering  0x0f , 0x09 (wbinvd) immediately before jump ( 0xe9 )
I've found that coreboot started working in my board.

Please consider updating this in coreboot source.

Thank You,
Naresh G Solanki
