Hi Josh,

What does 'NWP' stand for, and how is it different from a regular serial
port?  Also, what platforms can this device be found on currently?

Some of that should be included in the changelog, but I'm curious as well
too.

NWP stands for network processor and it is part of the QPACE - Quantum
Chromodynamics Parallel Computing on the Cell Broadband Engine
project [1]. The implementation is a lightweight uart implementation
with the focus to consume as little resources as possible and it is
connected to a DCR bus.

Neat.  Thanks.  We should include that in the changelog.
