Yes, the AST serial card was supported by sio(4). This line was actually added in the first hardware release note, back then they tried to organize it alphabetically instead of by driver, so when the cleanups came as the driver was removed from the build in 2008, it apparently didn't go so well.

Thanks! Merged, idk why this didn't close automatically.
