In general, yes - any card that claims to be a serial device should be
picked up by sio.  On the other hand, getting multiple functions on the
same card to work at the same time is often tricky.  It's possible that the
last round of work I did on the xe driver broke sio probing on these
cards... will take a look and fix it if necessary.
