On most 68k Macs the SCC IRQ is an autovector interrupt and cannot be 
masked. This can be a problem when pmac_zilog starts up.

For example, the serial debugging code in arch/m68k/kernel/head.S may be 
used beforehand. It disables the SCC interrupts at the chip but doesn't 
ack them. Then when a pmac_zilog port is opened and SCC chip interrupts 
become enabled, the machine locks up with "unexpected interrupt" because 
request_irq() hasn't happened yet.

Fix this by setting the interrupt enable bits only after the handler is 
installed and before it is uninstalled. Also move this bit flipping into a 
separate pmz_interrupt_control() routine. Replace all instances of these 
operations with calls to this routine.
