Mario, what's your intended debug flow?

Do you want to grab any and all messages related to AMD and then go
through them? So here you'd like "x86/amd" or something similar as a
first pass filter.

Or do you look for specific pieces of data, as needed? So here you'd
just look for "AGESA" if you want that or "reset reason", etc.

Thanks,
