CONFIG_PARPORT_PC_SUPERIO probes for various superio chips by writing
byte sequences to a set of different potential I/O ranges. But the
probed ranges are not exclusive to parallel ports. Some of our boards
just happen to have a watchdog in one of them. Took us almost a week
to figure out why some distros reboot without warning after running
flawlessly for 3 hours. For exactly 170 = 0xAA minutes, that is ...
Fixed by restoring original values after probing. Also fixed too small
request_region() in detect_and_report_it87().
