I've actually just been tasked with writing a NetBSD driver for some serial 
ports we implemented in the FPGAs of the Technologic Systems TS-7260 and 
TS-7300 ARM boards.  Does your changes only apply to 16550 UARTs or serial 
drivers in general?   If it applys to more than just 16550's, I would be 
interested in learning more about this work.  Has any documentation/manpage 
been written?
