Hi,

YhLu's megapatch broke a couple of mainboards. Here is the status:

General:
 * the patch exceeded romcc code complexity for AMD64 CPUs. Boards 
   without cache as ram wont build anymore. Yinghai, please supply 
   patches for this (or anyone else).

 * The new code is quite a lot bigger than the old one. Many boards
   are broken now.

Detailed information:

* amd quartet
  Needs to be switched to cache as ram
 
* amd serenade
  Needs to be switched to cache as ram

* amd serengeti_leopard
  some weird include problem caused by the usb console mess

* amd solo
