I was wondering if 0x71 should get a name change too.  Then again I can't
find the Intel doc that tells me what 0x70 is either (I remember seeing it
somewhere).

Cheers,
Don

  Well, me specs are on another machine (which I didn't copied back yet :) but
if my memory doesn't betray me it can be found in ICH specification. For 0x71 i
simply don't remember how it's named in spec but it stands for RTC ram target
register iirc.
