+ *  The PCI-8604PW contains a CPLD, probably an ispMACH 4A, that filters

+ *  the BT878 from fetching RISC instructions from memory. While the
+ *  CPLD is connected to most of the GPIOs of PCI device 0xD, only

+ *  sequence has been determined by trial and error without access to the
+ *  original driver.
+ *
+ *  Eight GPIOs of device 0xC are provided on connector CN4 (4 in, 4 out).
+ *  Devices 0xE and 0xF do not appear to have anything connected to their
+ *  GPIOs.

+ *  The correct GPIO_OUT_EN value might have some more bits set. It should
+ *  be possible to derive it from a boundary scan of the CPLD. Its JTAG
