Presumably too late for 3.3, but I figured I'd send the 8250 tidy up
for review while the discussion was still fresh in everyone's mind.
Note that this patch is based on Greg's tty-next branch in:
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/tty.git
since we need to move the 8250_fsl driver as well, which at the moment
only exists there. Tested with serial console on x86-32.
Paul.

Subject: [PATCH] serial: group all the 8250 related code together
The drivers/tty/serial dir is already getting rather busy.
Relocate the 8250 related drivers to their own subdir to
reduce the clutter.
Note that sunsu.c is not included in this move -- it is
8250-like hardware, but it does not use any of the existing
infrastructure -- and does not depend on SERIAL_8250.

- This selects whether you want to include the driver for the standard

- here are those that are setting up dedicated Ethernet WWW/FTP
- servers, or users that have one of the various bus mice instead of a
- serial mouse and don't intend to use their machine's standard serial
- port for anything. (Note that the Cyclades and Stallion multi

- [WARNING: Do not compile this driver as a module if you are using

- If you say Y here, it will be possible to use a serial port as the
- system console (the system console is the device which receives all
- kernel messages and warnings and which allows logins in single user
- mode). This could be useful if some terminal or printer is connected
- to that serial port.
-
- Even if you say Y here, the currently visible virtual console
- (/dev/tty0) will still be used as the system console by default, but
- you can alter that using a kernel command line option such as
- "console=ttyS1". (Try "man bootparam" or see the documentation of
- your boot loader (grub or lilo or loadlin) about how to pass options
- to the kernel at boot time.)
-
- If you don't have a VGA card installed and you say Y here, the
- kernel will automatically use the first serial line, /dev/ttyS0, as
- system console.
-
- You can set that using a kernel command line option such as
- "console=uart8250,io,0x3f8,9600n8"
- "console=uart8250,mmio,0xff5e0000,115200n8".

Presumably too late for 3.3, but I figured I'd send the 8250 tidy up
for review while the discussion was still fresh in everyone's mind.
Note that this patch is based on Greg's tty-next branch in:
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/tty.git
since we need to move the 8250_fsl driver as well, which at the moment
only exists there. Tested with serial console on x86-32.
Paul.

Subject: [PATCH] serial: group all the 8250 related code together
The drivers/tty/serial dir is already getting rather busy.
Relocate the 8250 related drivers to their own subdir to
reduce the clutter.
Note that sunsu.c is not included in this move -- it is
8250-like hardware, but it does not use any of the existing
infrastructure -- and does not depend on SERIAL_8250.
