For some reason the SuperIO puts the RTC at 0x400, even though it's
usually at 0x70.  If I put it at 0x70 the keyboard and mouse don't
work :(  I put it at 0x90 and corrected the size so that it wouldn't
conflict with other devices.  That makes Linux happy with it.  It
still could be a problem for Windows not to have it at 0x70.

Sorry I must have misunderstood this again.  I thought this was why I
keep getting : IRQ9 nobody cared messages from Linux.

It's the last thing that Linux complains about.  I'm not sure what I
should do so that somebody cares.

It's mostly working.

Yes.  I was trying to implement what I thought was the intent of the
original.  Since then I've taken out the VGA IO port regions and the
DRAM region.  It's a lot more complicated because I have multiple root
 buses.  As far as I can tell the factory BIOS is also not 100%
compliant with the spec, which is making it harder to see what's wrong
with mine.

My current state is hopefully better than what it was when I first
submitted these patches, but the BSOD is the same.

Thanks,
