This driver is a nexus driver and facilitates access to the
northbridge, data fabric, and SMN between various other devices such as
smntemp(4D). The various processor devices that make up the
northbridge and data fabric have the amdzen_stub driver attached to
them. The different devices are all amalgamated and a single uniform
view is provided by the amdzen driver.

The amdzen driver is a nexus driver that has the following children:

smntemp(4D) Provides access to on-die temperature sensors.

usmn(4D) Provides read access to the SMN. This driver is intended
for development purposes.

zen_udf(4D) Provides read access to the data fabric. This driver is
intended for development purposes.

ARCHITECTURE

The amdzen and amdzen_stub drivers are limited to x86 platforms with
AMD Family 17h and 19h processors.
