Me (the author of uartlite.c). We have designs where we needed more
uarts, but didn't have any more room/ I/O pins on the virtex, so we
have implemented an uartlite compatible interface in a S3E connected
through a 16bit bus.

Not exactly brilliant hw design, but it works and it keeps the sw
support to a minimum.
