Hi Andrew,

Thank you for taking time, and sorry for my late response.

Sorry for my previous inaccurate description about the vromoff register.
You are right, it is not related to I/O but memory LPC cycles. This
register defines the offset and size to BMC's memory for the system rom.
BMC uses it for system rom related operations. One way to access this is
through the memory LPC cycles.
