Presumably too late for 3.3, but I figured I'd send the 8250 tidy up
for review while the discussion was still fresh in everyone's mind.

Note that this patch is based on Greg's tty-next branch in:

   git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/tty.git

since we need to move the 8250_fsl driver as well, which at the moment
only exists there.  Tested with serial console on x86-32.
