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:
