The attached patch, against 2.4.4-pre7, cleans up the huge pci_board
list in serial.c to remove PCI id information.  In the process, it (a)
demonstrates more complex new-style PCI probing, and (b) fixes a logical
disconnect bug which was causing bug reports.  The bug caused by me,
when I added hotplugging to the serial driver (merging serial_cb in
function, but not literally).  The bug causes any PCI board which is
listed in the serial.c PCI table, but was not
PCI_CLASS_COMMUNICATION_SERIAL or PCI_CLASS_COMMUNICATION_MODEM, to be
missed in the PCI probe.

Linus - do not apply just yet.  I would prefer this patch go into 2.4.5
not 2.4.4, so that we can have a bit more public testing first.
tytso - a quick eyeball would be awesome.  Ask away with any questions
you have.
Alan - please consider applying to your tree.
Steven - please test, this patch removes the need for your serial.c
patch.

Others - all testing is welcome.
