After configuring the PLL registers on Geode LX, we have to reset the
processor. However, nothing in the log tells the user why the processor
is being reset.
Example log follows:

Oh shoot, I just realized, on LX it goes from 88000 to 88fff. But it
doesn't matter that much. 8 to 87fff is fine too.

note that on V3, we have the neat ability to put microcode in LAR, and
find it there on boot.
So we might have another top level directory: /microcode
And then you can figure out, long after the bios is built, which
microcode updates you want to support.

BIOS_EMERG is a bit strong because every cold boot will
trigger that code path by design.
OTOH after the new PLL values the machine _is_ unusable unless reset, right?
As I replied to Ron, this message should be prioritised as high as

For reference here is the geode lx disable car. CAR is at 8. The
steps are to re-enable cache (for loop), then dirty all the tags for
the CAR area (cld; rep movsl; etc); then write it all back (wbinvd).
Works really well.

[BIOS_INFO vs. BIOS_EMERG]
Think about it this way: whichever log level is set, the information that a
repeating log is intentional should be there.

Welcome to coreboot!
It's been 10 years (in octal anyway!) since the first successful LinuxBIOS boot.
In those days, by design, LinuxBIOS looked like this:
LinuxBIOS = (core boot code) + (Linux kernel)
We did not consider LinuxBIOS to be separable in any way from Linux,
and in fact the name

Via C3 datasheets don't make any mention of microcode updates, and the
C7 bios programmer's guide explicitly states they're not necessary, and
leaves it at that. Even if they are possible and exist, we don't have
any info on it, nor any updates, so drop these unneeded references.
