With the I/O space rewrite by BenH, the legacy_serial serial_dev_init()
initcall is now called before I/O space is setup, but it's dependent on

Since there's no way to make dependencies between initcalls, we'll just
have to move it to device_initcall(). Yes, it's suboptimal but I'm not
aware of any better solution at this time.

Paul, could we get this into 2.6.23? It's a regression from before.

Andy Fleming reported no problems on the MMIO-based UART board he tested
with, and Milton said the patch didn't break qemu/prep that has PIO UART
(he hasn't yet tested to see if it's really required there though).
