The Synopsys DesignWare 8250 is an 8250 that has an extra interrupt that
gets raised when writing to the LCR when busy.  To handle this we need
special serial_out, serial_in and handle_irq methods.  Add a new
platform driver that uses these accessors.

The driver looks good to me,

Is the patch to export serial8250_handle_irq already in Greg's tree or is that
still missing?
No, and I really don't know how I missed it.  I was sure an allmodconfig 
build worked, but perhaps 8250_dw wasn't selected.  Anyhow, here's the 
patch that does that.

Apologies again for making such a mess out of this series!

Thanks,

Jamie

Allow modules to use the normal 8250 irq handler inside their own.
So this patch needs to be applied before the first one here, right?

Care to just resend the patches again, in the right order, so I am sure
to get it correct?
