some progress

[Jarielle Catbagan]

Ed,

This is great progress!  Since the time you gave me the diff that
updates the files up until now, I was mostly walking through what you
had updated and was working on mostly UART-specific stuff in cpuio.c.

I would say so as well.

Now I am going to try to replicate your approach when trying to get
UART to work.

I am the one who needs to catch up to you now. :-)
