[TOR:] When I made the similar change for BDW, I understood timeout mode will 
provide benefit on some pre-production CHV steppings and no benefit on the 
production CHV steppings.  Is that understanding still correct? Do we want 
to merge a change that is not expected to benefit any production steppings?

[TOR:] A comment to explain the meaning of 0x557 could be helpful.

[TOR:] If we want to change from EI mode to TO mode for CHV, 
this patch does that correctly.
