I didn't think anyone else would care :-)
plus I keep finding that I am misinterpreting the problem. So my fixes,
each time I do them, turn out to be hacks that are wrong.
Right now I am zerod in on spd_set_rps. The only problem this thing has is
that it only seems to check the first two slots. The identical loop,
everywhere else, seems to scan all four slots just fine. But this one
loop, for some reason, only scans the first two slots and not only that,
it somehow decides (unlike all the other functions) that the DIMMs are
two-side, not one-side. It is really strange. If only my !@# Arium hadn't
picked this week to die ...
So, anyway, most of the code seems to be reading SPD just fine. But
spd_set_rps is not reading things correctly at all. Or else it is never
being called, HMMMMMM I'll check that next.
