it seems the bits 31:16 are used only by VBIOS and not GOP, so that wont 
help.
we need to come up with some other method to confirm the value or verify
if intel gop is loaded. i will get back if i can find such a mechanism.

it uses the same value programmed in CDCLK_CTL register.
i.e 01 0011 0011 1b    = 308.57MHz
