Yep, iobase is not used yet. I guess we should make these two lines
dependant on the value of iobase?

+       vt82c686_sio_write(VT82C686_SP1, 0xfe);         /* SP1: 0x3f8 */
+       vt82c686_sio_write(VT82C686_SP2, 0xbe);         /* SP2: 0x2f8 */

Hm, strange. I'll have a look later. Shall we hardcode a post_code()
call in addition of die() for now?
