jhalada, on "reverse HT"

I think "reverse HT" has somehow gotten mistranslated as "reverse hyperthreading", when it really is probably "reverse hypertransport". "Reverse hypertransport" would mean that a coprocessor is in control of some aspects of the crossbar actions (through the hypertransport link) rather than the CPU being in control of them. This may mean the use of downloadable microcode from a coprocessor to control the crossbar and SRQs, rather than the built-in system of control from the CPU chip.
