Here is a solution using the SSDT.

Unfortunately iasl does not resolve simple arithmetic at compile
time, so we can not use Add(DEFAULT_PMBASE, PCNTRL) in the
Processor statement.
This patch instead dynamically generates the processor statement.
I can't use the speedstep generate_cpu_entries() directly since the
cpu doesn't support speedstep.
For now the code is in the southbridge directory, but maybe it
should go into cpu/intel/ somewhere.
IIRC notebook cpus of the era can already have speedstep, so it
would probably be possible to pair the i82371eb with a
speedstep-capable cpu...
Also, I don't know if multiprocessor boards (abit bp6?) would need
to be handled differently.

Abuild-tested.
