mostly ram init control. It is the main function that has to run before
LinuxBIOS can be copied to ram. On AMD K8 this means you have to set up

Accoding to Eric's idea to move cpu init before pci_device.
Move apic cluster before pci_domain in MB Config.lb
add some lines in northbridge.c
So in the MB Config.lb
apic cluster can only have one child.
Also can remove the northbridge/amd/k8 there is incoherent device under it.
For my 8 way
With the log level up at 8, I have confirmed that my via/epia build is
not calling southbridge_init to set up the vt8231. I have confirmed
that the code from vt8231.c, is in the binary, it's just not getting
invoked. With the exception of enabling the serial console and boosting

What's the functional purpose of auto.c? Obvously to turn on the ram
but what else?
Are the #includes distributed through the file for a romcc reason?
