well it is strange. the code further on accesses the power management 
registers from 0x400. both the vt8231 & vt8235 set the bottom bit, don't 
ask me why, or if it is consistant with other chipsets.

from the 8235 datasheet

Offset 8B-88 – Power Management I/O Base .................RW
31-16 Reserved ........................................ always reads 0
15-7 Power Management I/O Register Base Address
Port Address for the base of the 128-byte Power
Management I/O Register block, corresponding to
AD[15:7]. See “Power Management I/O Space
Registers” in this document for definitions of the
registers in the Power Management I/O Register
Block
6-0 0000001b

if it wasn't for the code further down that uses outw() from 0x400 
onwards I wouldn't have commented on it.


anyway I will declare an extern for the base io as that is how it is 
done in at least one of the AMD based examples.
