You may also need to do early_mtrr_init() (if it's even valid on geode)
before trying to bring up the serial port, I had to do this on my pesky
C3-based PCChips board.

Also, grab the datasheet for the w83977tf (google should find this
easily) if you go datasheet diving. Comparing the init sequence of the
two chips might give you some hint as to where they differ.
