Those aren't particularly interesting distinctions -- they're dead easy
to probe for. The really interesting one is the type of SuperIO chip
it's compatible with -- which specifies how you get baud rates above
115200. For some chips (SMSC iirc) you have a 'magic multiplier'; by
setting the divisor to 0x8001 or 0x8002 you get 230400/460800 baud resp.
For NatSemi type chips you have baud rate divisors in an alternate bank,
and you get a higher baud_base if you use those but if you use the
registers in bank zero it reverts to 115200, etc.
