Do you try to use IRQ 4 and IO: 03e8h for COM3,
                        IRQ 5 and IO: 2e8h for COM4??

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\BuiltIn\Serial2]
   "SysIntr"=dword:14

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\BuiltIn\Serial3]
   "SysIntr"=dword:15

The relationship of IRQ and SysIntr on CEPC is IRQ + 0x10 = SysIntr for
Staic mapping SysIntrs.
But not all of the IRQs are mapped!!
you may refer the public\common\oak\csp\i486\oal\cfwpc.c

BTW, also be aware that the IRQs used by COM port is NOT shared with other
devices
