I have here
| 00:03: ttyS0 at I/O 0x3f8 (irq = 4, base_baud = 115200) is a 16550A
| 00:04: ttyS1 at I/O 0x2f8 (irq = 3, base_baud = 115200) is a 16550A

and I have

| root        2315  0.0  0.0   5480  1792 ttyS0    Ss+  11:19   0:00 /sbin/agetty -o -p -- \u --keep-baud 115200,57600,38400,9600 - vt220
| root        2502  0.1  0.0   5480  1792 ttyS1    Ss+  11:20   0:00 /sbin/agetty -o -p -- \u --keep-baud 115200,57600,38400,9600 - vt220

and I can stop both of them without any trouble. 
Can this be reproduced on an ordinary x86 hardware given they have more
than one UART (up to four).
Is any of this ADL hardware upstream?
