[coreboot] New patch to review: f65442a We use LDTSTOP# to trigger the FID/VID change on K8M890, because the FID/VID SMAF is blocked by not yet configured internal VGA. Workaround the errata #181. The memory controller is enabled later, nor the workaround makes any harm to non-affected CPUs.

    We use LDTSTOP# to trigger the FID/VID change on K8M890, because the FID/VID SMAF
    is blocked by not yet configured internal VGA. Workaround the errata #181.
    The memory controller is enabled later, nor the workaround makes any harm
    to non-affected CPUs.
