Re: can't find interrupt number under /proc/interrupts for the pci multi-port on db1550

[rolf liu <rolfliu@gmail.com>]

After some work, I found out the problem is the multi-port card is
using some of macros defined in au1000.h, which is not supposed to do.
I gave it a dirty hack by defining such macros in the source file.

Now I can see the interrupts coming up. BUT when I typed:
echo "hello world!">/dev/ttyM0 
the message is shown on terminal connected to this serial port. But it
then is stuck there. Then the rs_timer gives a lot of timeouts and
enter the interrupt service routine each time there is timeout.
rs_close() is never got called. any suggestion on this part?

What is the function of serial_timer? it is just sitting there,
generating timeout, periodically. Just to make sure the interrupt
routine will be called periodically?

thanks
