Yes, F11h has only 4 DCSB and 2 DCSM registers. So the first
two DCSB registers F2x[1,0]40 and F2x[1,0]44 use F2x[1,0]60 as
a mask register and F2x[1,0]48 and F2x[1,0]4C use F2x[1,0]64.
You can look at F11h as a F10h but with only the half of the
DSC[BM] registers present. You can find the F11h BKDG at
http://support.amd.com/us/Processor_TechDocs/41256.pdf and especially
Table 24 on page 115.

So, in that case csrow >> 1 is still valid but csrow going beyond 3 is
out of range that's why it needs to be fixed differently.

I'll think up something on Monday.

Cool, I'll get back to you when I have them ready, thanks.
