asm/serial.h is supposed to contain the definitions for the architecture

Therefore, nothing other than the 8250 driver should be including this
header file.  In order to move towards this goal, here is a patch which
removes some of the more obvious incorrect includes of the file.

MIPS and PPC has rather a lot of stuff in asm/serial.h, some of it looks
related to non-8250 ports.  Hence, it's not trivial to conclude that
these includes are indeed unnecessary, so can mips and ppc people please
test this patch carefully.

The MIPS bits were just unused leftovers from the days when the arch
code did did register serials & consoles.  So for the MIPS bits:
