If it was an SMM trap, I would expect it to be trapped in the SuperIO chip.

Many SuperIO chips do port 0x80, but they do it over the LPC and they do
it in hardware to the parallel port data lines. The timings posted for
0x80 on his box are really a bit fast for LPC.

Ah, that would eliminate the SuperIO chip.
