The PPS (Pulse-Per-Second) line discipline has developed a number of
unhealthy attachments to core tty data and functions, ultimately leading
to its breakage.

The previous patches fixed the crashing.  This one reduces coupling further
by eliminating the timestamp parameter from the dcd_change ldisc method.
This reduces header file linkage and makes the extension more generic,
and the timestamp read is delayed only slightly, from just before the
ldisc->ops->dcd_change method call to just after.

The MIPS based Ralink WiSoC platform has 1 or more 8250 compatible serial cores.
To make them work we require the same quirks that are used by AU1x00.

Now that support for RM9000 and platforms based on it has been removed,
remove the serial driver for it as well.  It's really only been a quirk
for an almost 8250 compatible UART anyway.

The serial core is using power states lifted from ACPI for no
good reason. Remove this reference from the documentation and
alter all users to use an enum specific to the serial core
instead, and define it in <linux/serial_core.h>.

Add two callbacks for hardware assisted flow control; we need to know
when the tty layers want us to stop and restart due to their buffer
levels.

Call a driver specific throttle/unthrottle function if and only if the
driver indicates that it is using an enabled hardware assisted flow
control method, otherwise fall back to the non-hardware assisted
methods.

Ports which are handling h/w flow control in hardware must not have
their RTS state altered depending on the tty's hardware-stopped state.
Avoid this additional logic when setting the termios state.

Ports which are capable of handling s/w flow control in hardware to
know when the s/w flow control termios settings are changed.  Add a
flag to allow the low level serial drivers to indicate that they
support this, and these changes should be propagated to them.

It was noticed that polling drivers (like KGDB) are not able to use
serial ports if the ports were not previously initialized via console.
I.e.  when booting with console=ttyAMA0 kgdboc=ttyAMA0, everything works
fine, but with console=ttyFOO kgdboc=ttyAMA0, the kgdboc doesn't work.

This is because we don't initialize the hardware. Calling ->startup() is
not an option, because drivers request interrupts there, and drivers
fail to handle situations when tty isn't opened with interrupts enabled.

So, we have to implement a new callback (actually, tty_ops already have
a similar callback), which does everything needed to initialize just the
hardware.
