Subject: [PATCH 19/22] NOTFORMERGE: northbridge/gm45/raminit.c: enable GS45
 high-perf

X200S uses GS45 chipset, unlike X200 which uses GM45. These two
chipsets are mostly compatible except for raminit.

The datasheets for GS45 describe a high- and low-performance mode
for different CPU's. Coreboot currently disables GS45 altogether,
but forcing coreboot to treat high-performance GS45 as GM45 makes
the X200S boot with certain RAM configurations.

1x2GB fails: http://paste.debian.net/hidden/ae66cff7/
2x2GB fails: http://paste.debian.net/hidden/8802e220/
2x4GB boots: http://paste.debian.net/hidden/61114378/

Hardcode-enable GS45 high-performance mode in coreboot, passing it
off as GM45. This is known to work with all CPU's except the SU
(low performance) models.
