/**
 * PCs can have either 64 (very old ones), 128, or 256 bytes of CMOS RAM.
 *
 * Usually you access the lower 128 CMOS bytes via I/O port 0x70/0x71.
 * For more recent chipsets with 256 bytes, you have to access the upper
 * 128 bytes (128-255) using two different registers, usually 0x72/0x73.
 *
 * On some chipsets this can be different, though. The VIA VT8237R for example
 * only recognizes the ports 0x74/0x75 for accessing the high 128 CMOS bytes
 * (as seems to be the case for multiple VIA chipsets).
 *
 * It's very chipset-specific if and how the upper 128 bytes are enabled at
 * all, but this work should be done in coreboot anyway. Libpayload assumes
 * that coreboot has properly enabled access to the upper 128 bytes and
 * doesn't try to do this on its own.
