mainboard/asus/kgpe-d16: Limit HT speed to 2.6GHz
The CPU <--> CPU HT wiring on this board has only been validated
to 2.6GHz. While higher frequencies appear to function initially,
and in fact function when only one CPU package is installed, dual
CPU package systems will lock up after around 6 - 12 hours of uptime
due to presumed HT link errors at the higher (>= 2.8GHz) HT clocks.
If applications are not being used that stress the coherent fabric,
then the uptime before hang may be much longer. Users attempting
to overclock the HT links are advised to "burn in test" the HT links
by running memtester locked to a node with no local memory installed.
