Interesting.  I had an ICH8 (plus) driver at
some point, but held back doing anything with it
because of the ACPI interactions needed on most
relevant hardware, for wakeups and other issues.
Regardless, I'm glad to see someone pick up on
the fact that these are just GPIOs, and that Linux
should be able to work with them
