This email bounces, so I'm going to have to reject this patch.  I can't
accept a patch from a "fake" person, let alone something that touches
core code like this.

Sorry, I can't accept anything in this series then.
Oops, guess I probably should have updated his address after the V1
emails bounced...

Before I send a new version, what do you think about the overall
approach?  Should we try to make serial8250 coexist with the other
"ttyS / major 4 / minor 64" drivers (possibly at the expense of
compatibility) or is it better to start with a simpler, cleaner driver
like serial/pxa?
We can't do anything "at the expense of compatibility", sorry.
