Shoot..  Looks like we may be reviving our L440GX+ cluster for LinuxBIOS
and SCYLD...  This means I'll have to look at it in the next few weeks.
As I recall:

* We have SMP working and implemented
* The framebuffer working and implemented (I should do a proper scan for
it, which takes another 10 lines of code)
* The L1 and L2 cache on the second processor is working, but not
implemented (last I knew) -- sometimes the box will go very slowly because
of this
* The flash update from Linux is working, but only partially implemented
and completely untested

It looks like I need to do 3 changes, 1 trivial, 1 moderately difficult,
and 1 difficult change (respectively).  I hope to start work on this the
30th..  It looks like the ATI video driver will get delayed to Aug 14th..

Eric, any progress you get on this would be greatly appreciated!  Also,
more importantly, where should second processor init code be located?  In
particular, where should I put the second processor's L1/L2 cache init
(did you have to do this or does the AMD not suck and just start with L1 &
L@ on?).  If nobody cares, I'll choose.
