I've looked at it.  I know it well.  I wrote it.  I know how its used.
xmon and kgdb format their own strings/packets and expect read/write of
a simple uart fifo.

Well, ahhh, there isn't anything mentioned there about fixing bugs.  From
your description it's all about yet another scc uart configuration method.
I have lots of those on the shelf, all conflicting, that always seem to
be useful to the person/platform/application.  The easiest way to keep
everyone (un)happy is to leave things alone.  I used to apply those,
a new one every other week, and the only person happy about it was the
last one that had the patch applied.  :-)

You can pull the uart "bugfix" from the 2_4_devel tree now, if you wish.
