K7 support for the PC Chips m810LMR is now back. I have just committed it. 
Here are sample messages for bootup for the supported SDRAM configurations.

In case anybody is worried about any NDA issues with the code, see two things:
First, how we did it: see freebios/util/k7msr for an overview. All this was 
worked out from a user-mode Linux program, and tested from a similar 
user-mode Linux program. That code was then ported into LinuxBIOS. 

Second, a note in the code:

// see the explanation in freebios/util/k7msr for how this code was
// created. Short form: NO NDA material was used to create this code.
// Go sue somebody else.

So SiS 730 users: you are now back on the air. I really like these K7+730 
combos. Peppy!

Only remaining problem: from 2.4.3. to 2.4.7 something broke on both 630 and 
730 support for X; it no longer works on 2.4.7.
