Where do head.S initialize UART?

I am porting Linux to a PowerPC VME board. I am now tracing head.S. Can
anyone
tell me where do head.S start to initialize the UART? Thanks.

It does not, the UART basic setup should be done by the Firmware or
perhaps by the initial bootloader. But otherwise it is postponed until
the console is initialized.

P.S: which VME board ? (I have a few Motorola's ones around 2400, and
2600)
