It would be good to see this. The AMD BKDG has changed with regard to
the VID setup since the code was added. I think that dual PVI works
well, but SVI is suspect in my recent review of it. They two are not
as different as once indicated.

The fid shouldn't require too much change. There are some features
that are not supported, but nothing that should prevent booting at
maxfid.

This should be a matter of getting your lspci and the devicetree to
match up. If there is no graphics, you will need to remove that and
also look for any uma stuff that might be left around.

I think this works, but Zheng may be able to confirm when he is back
from holiday.
