That is for extra GPIO manuipulation on SuperIO to enable FAN or disable
watchdog. So you need open one window on SB, But ultra 40 donesn't need
it.

oops. I am still getting the hang of all this. Sorry.

I still don't see how your serial setup ever worked ... you were 
enabling the runtime registers but then changing settings in the SP1 
registers.

Back to school for me!

ah!

so sio_setup is SuperIO setup, not Serial Setup, right?

But still, then, why this call top the enable serial with GPIO params? 
Is this to enable the device and setup the I/O base for it? Ah, I get it.
