sb1250-duart.c: SB1250 DUART serial support

This is a driver for the SB1250 DUART, a dual serial port implementation
included in the Broadcom family of SOCs descending from the SiByte SB1250
MIPS64 chip multiprocessor.  It is a new implementation replacing the
old-fashioned driver currently present in the linux-mips.org tree.  It
supports all the usual features one would expect from a(n asynchronous)
serial driver, including modem line control (as far as hardware supports it
-- there is edge detection logic missing from the DCD and RI lines and the
driver does not implement polling of these lines at the moment), the serial
console, BREAK transmission and reception, including the magic SysRq.  The
receive FIFO threshold is not maintained though.

The driver was tested with a SWARM board which uses a BCM1250 SOC (which is
dual MIPS64 CMP) and has both ports of the single DUART implemented wired
externally.  Both were tested.  Testing included using the ports as
terminal lines at 1200bps (which is the ports ...
