Re: Machin dependent serial port patches

["J.C. Wren" <jcwren@jcwren.com>]

	The only prolem with using setserial is my console is one one of these serial 
port (headless system.  I failed to mention that earlier).  So everything 
that comes out the console at the wrong rate :(  However, Milton D. Miller 
suggested looking at early_serial_rgister, which is used on ppc and ia64.  
That might help.
