+Subject: [PATCH 3/6] Tweak cmos defaults for KCMA-D8 (for a little speed
+ boost)
+
+63xx CPUs have the option to use a reduced latency value inside the crossbar.
+Setting "experimental_memory_speed_boost=Enable" aparently only has an effect
+on 63xx CPUs and may, in certain cases, yield a slight memory bandwidth
+increase (according to Timothy Pearson), but maybe it also works for
+43xx CPUs.
+
+Setting "l3_cache_partitioning=Enable" will increase performance in certain
+situations. See:
+https://developer.arm.com/documentation/100453/0401/functional-description/l3-cache/l3-cache-partitioning?lang=en

+Subject: [PATCH 4/6] Do not use microcode updates on AMD platforms
+
+Coreboot is hardcoding the use of microcode updates on some platforms.
+
+Just nuke it from orbit. This is the libre branch of osboot, so microcode must
+not be used.
