You two are possibly misunderstanding each other. Joe wants to simply 
dump the register contents (probably to make sure they match between 
coreboot and proprietary BIOS). Peter suggests ways to find out where 
each GPIO is connected to. Right?

OK, now that may be a problem, but since Joe already knows the iobase 
for these registers, he is probably primarily interested in dumping them 
for comparison.
