During kernel boot ... Due to instabilities problems, i removed all
local sources changes and custom kernel config. Yesterday, i started
to re-add all my devices. But with spdmem(4), my machine rocks solid
when starting sshd (???) I then need to unplug the power cable to get
it back, even reset or power button are useless.

For now, i reproduce it the following config:

include	 "arch/amd64/conf/GENERIC"
options	 MULTIPROCESSOR
options	 DIAGNOSTIC
options	 LOCKDEBUG
iic*	 at amdpm?
spdmem*	 at iic? addr 0x50
[...]
spdmem*  at iic? addr 0x57
