  You should probably just remove the flag entirely.  sio(4) doesn't build on 
  8.x and later.
 
 
 The handbook will need fixing too since it mentions sio(4) and -D/-h.

-D/-h are still valid and work fine with uart.

The only thing that isn't really there is symmetry in the .flags hint.. I'll 
file a pr for that today so it doesn't get forgotten..
