As far as the serial stuff goes:

- William Irvin and Zwane Mwaikambo have been testing it, found a
deadlock, now fixed. (yay)

- Zwane reports that serial console doesn't work for him. Oddly,
it works here on a Netwinder (which has all the bits'n'pieces to
be close enough to a PC with a PCI bus, southbridge, and standard
serial ports at standard IO bases and standard IRQs) so I'm at a
loss why this works for me but not Zwane.

I'm just sorting out a 2.5.26-rmk1 release, then update to 2.5.27,
make sure it builds, and then I'll be sending the serial stuff to
Linus. Until then, I've no idea if any patch I create will apply
to 2.5.27.

Gimme about an hour or so and I'll have the patch ready.
