Description
SDM 092 Vol 1 table 21-2 on pages 21-3/21-4 (441/442 of 600) in section 21.1.5 lists mutable CPUID fields.
For LARGEST_MONITOR_LINE_SIZE it shows **EDX**[15:0].
That register is incorrect.
The correct register is **EBX**[15:0].
The authoritative source is (also in SDM Vol 1, in) table 21-15 on page 21-23 (461 of 600) in section 21.3.
Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by locating SDM Vol. 1 section 21.1.5 and table 21-2 on pages 21-3/21-4, then compare the LARGEST_MONITOR_LINE_SIZE entry with table 21-15 in section 21.3. Done means the rendered specification consistently identifies the field in EBX[15:0] and no longer reports EDX[15:0].
