can someone please shed some light onto this VIA stuff? i see how
this is done in source, but not why. just because we need to write one
register in the northbridge(s) to disable "byte merging"?
should i just mark all of them as tested? or should i leave the
northbridges marked as untested because we did not enter the "if (byte
merge enabled)" branch?
