That's a bit unorthodox, what happens when someone uses their
old VT100 terminal to look at this file?

BIUT! It is a debugfs file, and you folks at AMD are going to be
using this and I just assume that you folks have aligned internally
that this is how you want things so I just applied this.

We need testing in linux-next for this anyway, the merge window
is close. If the other AMD people don't like it for some reason
I can always pull it out.
