+.PP
+ * dump all register contents of the Super I/O chip, together with the
+   default values as per datasheet (to make comparing the values easy).
+.PP
+It is mainly used for LinuxBIOS development purposes (see linuxbios.org
+for details on LinuxBIOS), but it may also be useful for other things.
