-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 This may be a general coreboot limitation at the moment. The compatibility sections for mixed CPUs in the BKDG are more concerned with total power delivery and proper P-state setup than anything else.
If I recall correctly, coreboot assumes both CPUs have the same core count when setting up APICs and such. There are a number of places that would need to be modified to remove this assumption; it's a leftover from the original K8 code and would take some significant work to fix. This also needs to be verified as I am going from memory here from a couple of years ago.
