Status of uart driver on mpc8xx in 2.6

Greetings

Could anyone point me to a uart driver for mpc8xx as the one in 2.6.8.1 obviously has not been hacked from the 2.4 variant since it still contains references to DECLARE_TASK_QUEUE and other things that have changed.

I'm sure there is a ppc 'special' tree that has all the necessary fixes but with this list disappearing for a while I've rather lost track of what is where!!

as i understand it, the source file arch/ppc/8xx_io/uart.c is no longer used.  you'll find the uart stuff in drivers/serial/cpm_uart, i think.  at least, that's where i'm messing with the code.
