There is very old documentation at
http://www.openbios.org/LinuxBIOS-AMD64.pdf
The sources are in the v2 tree, any updates are welcome.

For the K8T890 you might want to copy a CK804 board and modify it to
match the topology of your board, since it looks they are reasonably
similar in design.

There's no overclocking "infrastructure" for that. But since you have
the source code, you can add any overclocking bits you want at any
time during startup.
