Summary

This adds basic documentation on what the superio driver is and how other
drivers can interact with it. I decided to also document superio's ivar
accessors.

cleanups based on the review

Thank you very much for the review!
Problems should be fixed now.

This revision is now accepted and ready to land.Oct 10 2019, 8:09 AM

Hmm, I see that superio.9 could become a first conditionally installed manual page in man9.
Is that okay?
Or would it be better to merge superio.9 into superio.4?
I see a couple of examples in man4, e.g., cpufreq.4.

@yuripv , I noted that you ended your suggestions with question marks...
I am not a native speaker, so I am not sure if definite or indefinite article is more appropriate in those sentences.
