I'm not sure exactly which iobase ports I haven't tried.

But I just realized.  We're not assigning a iobase to the port yet..
this is just needed for early_serial.c to get an initial console
correct?

If so, my bag.  Although 0x3f8 should work, I should really try all of
them then.

(just flashed my s1832dl with the s1846 code... If you don't hear from
me for awhile, you'll know why. ;-)
