This is premature, and hugely incomplete - (basically one observation)

Ill try to give it a go RSN   (FLW)

please use these helper functions - lifted verbatim from another patch.
These show up in various superio drivers in lm-sensors, consistency is good,
and will help later if we need to mediate access to the SIO port,
to share it amongst multiple drivers.

+
+static inline void superio_outb(int reg, int val)
+{
+	outb(reg, SIO_REG_CIP);
+	outb(val, SIO_REG_DIP);
+}
+
+static inline int superio_inb(int reg)
+{
+	outb(reg, SIO_REG_CIP);
+	return inb(SIO_REG_DIP);
+}
+
+static inline void superio_select(int ldn)
+{
+	outb(SIO_VT1211_LDN, SIO_REG_CIP);
+	outb(ldn, SIO_REG_DIP);
+}
+
+static inline void superio_enter(void)
+{
+	outb(0x87, SIO_REG_CIP);
+	outb(0x87, SIO_REG_CIP);
+}
+
+static inline void superio_exit(void)
+{
+	outb(0xaa, SIO_REG_CIP);
+}


BTW - can anyone clarify when / why to use the _p variants,
and how they relate to barriers (mem & otherwize)

At 1st, this looked like recursion.
I havent actually checked, but it would be nice if you used the -p option
   -p     Show which C function each change is in.

and eventually, you'll probly need to do something about the nesting level.
// and the c++ comments. :-(
