I don't really have a choice in the matter.

That is my problem.

02:06.4 Communication controller: Texas Instruments PCIxx12 GemCore based 
SmartCard controller

Someone suggested that there may be a way to expose a serial interface
to userspace that would let the gemcore serial drivers talk to the PCI
device as if was connected by serial.  I like this, as it saves me a lot
of work.... but I need to be able talk to the device first.  A register
map would be great!

In a perfect world you would have designed my laptop.  However, TI made
this PCI SmartCard chip, HP used it, and I cannot find specs for it.
