Intel i810/i82801aa/b support should be on its way soon, I hope the
folks that were asking about it are still subscribed. i815 will follow
soon after. minicom.cap attached, I've still got a few quirks to work
out (like finishing the south bridge and a quick fix to ram size
setting), but ram init seems to be working. Expect more in a couple
days. Asus MEW-VM is the current target board, for anyone curious. BTW,
SMSC LPC47B272 is listed as unknown on the wiki, I can confirm that at
least the pre-ram code works.

Also, if anyone has any info relating to the setting of the buffer
strength, neither datasheet is clear on it, just that it depend on if
the ram is x8, x16, or x32. I have x8 and x16 ram sticks that I can test
how the factory bios sets up, but I think the only x32 stick I have is
512mb, which is more than the i810 supports.
