After reading the code in drivers/edac/amd64_edac.c and the
documentation in the AMD reference doc (#32559, I have Rev. 3.08) the
bug is, that the current code does not try to differentiate between
the 64bit and the 128bit mode.
In the doc the sizes for the 64bit mode in table 10, section 4.5.8.1
are identical to the table ddr2_dbam in amd64_edac.c.
But for the 128bit mode the table 11 should be used, there the sizes
are doubled.

The code uses the bit 11 (named F10_WIDTH_128 in amd64_edac.h) of the
lower DRAM configuration register to determine the number of channels
in k8_early_channel_count(), but this is not used in
amd64_debug_display_dimm_sizes()

amd64_edac_init() calls amd64_init_2nd_stage() for each northbrigde,
but amd64_setup_pci_device() only once.

But from looking at the code, I can't see if a second device is needed or not.
