This patch adds a new SERIO driver to support the Altera University

Thank you for the patch, it looks like it is reasonable written although
it should do request_mem_region for the IO memory region it tries to
remap and also IO addresses should not be cast to unsigned int but
rather 'void __iomem *'. I also don;t see the reason for it to depend on
EMBEDDED since the things that depend on EMBEDDED are usually features
that are used almost by everyone and only in case of embedded arch you
may want to turn them off to save some memory.

I also prefer even static functions to have the driver name as their
prefix - this way if I see a backtrace I know exactly which module is
involved.

I made a small patch on top of yours, please give it a try and if it did
not break anything then I will fold it all together and queue for
2.6.33.

Thanks!

Hi Dmitry,

Thank you very much for your help. I have tested the updated driver with PS/2 keyboard and mouse on boards. They all worked well.

Cheers,
Thomas
