This is a problem with the serial driver since day 1. There is no
proper "dynamic" allocations of port numbers. In 2.4, we used to
have an horrible hack via a macro to "offset" the port numbers
used by the 8250 driver by an amount equal to the number of
on-board 8530 chips (the one that are driven by pmaczilog, or
previously by macserial).
The new 8250 driver doesn't have this ability.
Ben.
