+ * Ironlake memory I/O timings are located in scan chains, accessible
+ * through MCHBAR register groups. Each channel has a scan chain, and
+ * there's a global scan chain too. Each chain is broken into smaller
+ * sections of N bits, where N <= 32. Each section allows reading and
+ * writing a certain parameter. Each section contains N - 2 data bits
+ * and two additional bits: a Mask bit, and a Halt bit.
