adjusted superIO values (e.g. 0x290 instead of 0xa00) using superiotool -d -e of original BIOS as reference

Tested working on Linux: eth0, eth1, hda, sda, USB, VGA, sensors(fan,temp), acpi_power_off, flashrom, superiotool, reboot(sometimes)

only SATA-hotplug failed
and sometimes reboot failed

fixed: sensors temperature readings were off scale
fixed: during coreboot init there was a strange non-continous scraping noise. It did not come from HDD - but maybe from onboard PC-speaker? - noise was during BIOS-flash read/write even within Linux.
