The HAL names of hostmot2 gpio pins changed between 2.2 and 2.3, and i 
see that i forgot to note change in the wiki...  Hold on, i'll do it 
now...  Ok done!


In 2.2, gpios were named like this:

     hm2_<BoardType>.<BoardNum>.gpio.<ConnectorName>.<IONum>


This was changed in 2.3 to a new scheme.  Pins are named like this now:

     hm2_<BoardType>.<BoardNum>.gpio.<IONum>

So the change is just that the Connector Name was dropped from the HAL 
pin name.   The mapping from IONum to connector and "pin on that 
connector" is written to the syslog when the driver loads, and it’s 
documented in Mesa’s manual for the Anything I/O boards.
