  - Enforced Coreboot support
  - Optimized run time for faster memory error detection
  - Rewriten lots of memory timings detection code
  - Corrected bugs, bugs and more bugs
  
  Tips : F1 will enable fail-safe mode, F2 will enable SMP Mode (disabled
  by default) and F3 will trigger an hidden alternative SMP Mode.
