The 0x111d signature is company called IDT. They manufacture IDTAMB0480 which
may be used there. Question is if the register layout is same as in intel AMB

Yes it might. Please check the intel datasheet for overheat flags etc etc. It
might work for you. I asked our friend in Tyan for a help with that.

I was interrested in base address and it is correct.

I think they do not have support for this - it fairly new technology.

If you have time, maybe you may investigate the overtemperature bits. I think I
may have some time for this next week...
