 I think the file can (and should) be removed altogether one day. 
Especially as it's not flexible enough, considering PMAC-A.  The stuff in
tty_io.c should handle a console on both kinds of serial chips fine, just
like it handles a number of other chips already, but it needs careful
checking of both drivers to handle all cases fine.  Improving the serial
drivers is on my to-do list, but don't hold your breath.
