Running script RPIO/source/scripts/rpio with option --sysinfo results in an error:

pi@raspberrypi:~/RPIO/RPIO/source/scripts $ rpio --sysinfo
Script not started as root. Running sudo...
Traceback (most recent call last):

KeyError: 'a22082'

This apparently results from not including the recent hardware versions in the checking code.
This should be updated to recognize the RPi3.
Also, it would be helpful to print a formatted message if run on unrecognized hardware.
I plan to submit a PR for this.

Environment:
RPIO version: v2 (2016.06.02: 07c776f)
Hardware: RPi 3, BCM2709, rev. a22082
OS: Raspbian GNU/Linux 8
Python: 2.7.9
