[patch] 2.2.18 serial console sysrq backport

Hi *,

i just backported the 2.4.x serial.c changes to enable MAGIC_SYSRQ via
serial console
on 2.2.18. Patch is working ok so far, i have included it here, maybe it
is useful for
someone. You need to enable CONFIG_SERIAL_CONSOLE && CONFIG_MAGIC_SYSRQ
to use it.
To trigger MAGIC_SYSRQ send a "break" to the serial console. e.g. 
ALT-a f in minicom. (To trigger the help function try alt-a f h)

Cheers,
-Michael
