Device drivers for AMD8111 HyperTransport I/O hubs, AMD8131 HyperTransport PCI-X Tunnel chips

These were part of the original Opteron platform in 2002 - what's actually been added is Error Detection and Correction (EDAC) support for these chipsets. Similarly the PPC4xx IBM DDR2 memory controller driver added is for EDAC.

Thanks. My personal main system is a dual Opteron 290 running these, and
I'm not sure I'd have understood the significance had you not mentioned
it.
