I like the idea. It's long term, and cleaner.
chip superio/foo/bar # Super I/O
device pnp 2e.1 on # Com1
io 0x60 = 0x3f8
irq 0x70 = 4
serial_console
end
So not only would we specify that the superio hosts the serial console,
but also at which address that is, eliminating the need for
#define SERIAL_DEV PNP_DEV(0x2e, FOOBAR_SP1)
in romstage.c
