[LinuxBIOS] bus 0 dev 0 and fidvid change

[Lu, Yinghai]

so what exactly does this do? It sets the position of an 8131 on a given
bus? Does this work for all 8131 in a system? What about the 8111?

And that 0 value - is that a special case? What is the connection to the
other functionality? Does that mean there is only an 8111 and no 8131?

Possible values: 0, 1, 6 ? Others?

do not use what? so i read:
- HT_CHAIN_END_UNITID_BASE == 0x20: 8111 on bus 1
- HT_CHAIN_END_UNITID_BASE == 0x00: 8111 on bus 0

why end unitid base? how is the correlation to HT_CHAIN_UNITID_BASE?

Possible values: 0, 32 ? Others?

YH: A) 8131/8111
	HT_CHAIN_UNITID_BASE=0x10, HT_CHAIN_END_UNITID_BASE=0x06
	So 8131 will start from 0x10, and 8111 will start from 0x06
    B) ck804 only
	HT_CHAIN_UNITD_BASE=0, 
	So ck804 will start from 0x00.

Possible values: 0, 1? Others?

What does that mean? Why would I only want to offset the unitid of the
SB? SB Chain? Does it change the meaning of HT_CHAIN_UNITID_BASE?

YH: 0: mean using HT_CHAIN_UNITID_BASE and HT_CHAIN_END_UNITID_BASE.

does this require an 8111 southbrigde?

YH: any SB chain

I thought SMP systems need identical CPUs installed, according to AMD
BKDG? Is this option dangerous? Does it downclock faster CPUs to work
sanely in SMP context?

YH: A) using different CPU 
    B) some MB can not use at MAX fid....

This is only needed if I want to use different CPUs?
