BIOS checkpoints

Verify the BIOS spec. Section 12.3 as Standard checkpoint. Compare the output value of
the debug card to checkpoint index table.

Intel Memory Reference Code Checkpoints

The BIOS will show MRC error/warning codes on the 80port LED when MRC errors happen.
The LED flash sequence will be (with 1 second interval): For no specific DIMM location
errors (ex. no memory detected): Major error code -> Minor error code -> 0 ->... (repeat)
For specific DIMM location errors (ex. wrong DIMM population): Major error code -> Minor
error code -> DIMM location -> 0 ->... (repeat)
