Memory controller MSR:

static float getNHMmultiplier(void)
{
        unsigned int msr_lo, msr_hi;
        float coef;

        /* Find multiplier (by MSR) */
        /* First, check if Flexible Ratio is Enabled */
        rdmsr(0x194, msr_lo, msr_hi);
        if((msr_lo >> 16) & 1){
                coef = (msr_lo >> 8) & 0xFF;
         } else {
                rdmsr(0xCE, msr_lo, msr_hi);
                coef = (msr_lo >> 8) & 0xFF;
         }

        return coef;
}

Looks like we need to emulate it since memtest only looks at the cpuid
to detect an integrated memory controller.  What does this return for you?

dd if=/dev/cpu/0/msr skip=$((0x194)) bs=8 count=1 | xxd
dd if=/dev/cpu/0/msr skip=$((0xCE)) bs=8 count=1 | xxd
