I'm not sure what you mean?? I can't just pick any old base address  
for the ACPI I/O registers, it is already pre-determined in  
i82801xx_lpc.c at 0x00000500. So all I need to do is set  
ACPIBASE(00000500h) +
TCOBASE(60h) + TCO1_CNT(08h) = 0x00000568 bit 11 to 1, it's that  
simple. I know this will run early before i82801xx_lpc.c but we don't  
want any conflicts do we?

Thanks - Joe
