I think we should not disallow this option, as the device may very
well appear on PCI systems.
We cannot just depend upon PCI however for the 8250 driver options
as it may appear also in ISA and onboard forms.
I do not see any reason why allowing this option to be enabled is a problem.
People just have to become knowledgable about what kind of hardware
they actually have right? :)
