[LinuxBIOS] State of vt8237 and consequently epia-ms

[Samet, Matt]

Hi Adam - 

I'd like to start looking into the VT8237 myself.
If possible, could I get that VT8237 doc from you? And possibly your WIP
code?
I can start to take a look, I have some time.

Thanks...

Currently the is no support for the vt8237.
What would it take to support?  Some one who has a few weeks to work on
it.
I spent a few weeks, but was never able to get the console running. 
With out that, I had no way of doing debugging.  My board does not have
any PCI slots, so I was unable to use a post card to debug.
