You've obviously checked more than I have.  MRZ said the kernel memory map
didn't include the full I/O space on the 840 in a recient post.  I may have
drawn an improper conclusion, but let's ask him directly:

Michael,
        Is there anything fishy about internal video support for the 840av?
Is there any information or cross-checking you would like us to do?
