[coreboot] Dump GPIO I/O Registers

[Tom Sylla]

The dump tool is the way to go now, but just to answer a couple of your 
questions:

Bits 15:6 of that register become bits 15:6 of the address range, 
meaning your base is just 0x500. (that isn't really stated in the 
datasheet, but that is they way those type of registers usually work, 
see regular PCI BARs for another example)

Also, 0x14 would just not be an appropriate I/O base, take a look at an 
I/O port reference (i.e., ports.lst from Ralf Brown), and you will see 
that 14 is in the legacy DMA controller's I/O space. Anything less than 
0x100 is really only for legacy stuff.

Yes

When you use dd to read from /dev/port, you get out raw binary data. xxd 
turns that binary into a human-readable hex listing. (there are other 
tools to do this too, hexdump, etc)
