ok done. shuffled everything down. the GPIOs are the ones that can
be tri-stated easily, and will tolerate random 5v input.

*thinks*... that's just an inductor on the 5v inputs and a capacitor
nearby to put any high-frequency stuff through to GND, right?
i've now made pins 24, 58, 26 and 60 all 5v power. that gives 2
amps. we still have 8 GND pins.
* 23 GPIO (14) * 57 GPIO (15)
* 24 PWR (5.0V) * 58 PWR (5.0V)
* 25 USB2 (Data+) * 59 USB2 (Data-)
* 26 PWR (5.0V) * 60 PWR (5.0v)
* 27 I2C Clock (SCL) * 61 I2C Data (SDA)
* 28 GROUND * 62 GROUND
* 29 10/100 Ethernet (RX+) * 63 10/100 Ethernet (RX-)
* 30 10/100 Ethernet (TX+) * 64 10/100 Ethernet (TX-)
* 31 GROUND * 65 GROUND
* 32 SATA-II Transmit (A+) * 66 SATA-II Transmit (A-)
* 33 GROUND * 67 GROUND
* 34 SATA-II Receive (B+) * 68 SATA-II Receive (B-)
