The USB debug port requires much less support than full blown USB and so
can be used in restricted environments. PCI seems to be going away and
even when it is present port 80h does not always work by default, it can
need configuring.
Support for passing POST codes or even progress strings over USB debug
devices would be very useful indeed.
