Don't enable ECC.
Memory clearing is only done for correctness. ECC memory does not
work properly unless initialized.
I think the Opteron setup now is down to the minimal needed for
things to work. You only observe one reset correct?

As Ron mentioned later this needs a comment. In the general case we should
not be enabling bus master DMA by default. I tend to remove bus master
enables before remembering any special circumstances of the chip.

Thanks that looks correct. And it was nice to see my changes were
that simple to follow.

Hmm. Can we throw in a sanity check to ensure we don't run out of heap?
I assume that is what was happening.
Does the 4-way s4880 work? I'm not quite certain how my changes would
affect it.
