[PATCH] PPC4xx UART0 (8250) problem

[Mikhail Zolotaryov <lebon@faust.net.ua>]

On PPC4xx embedded we often have UART0 on IRQ0 but 8250 UART driver
uses IRQ0 as "no irq" hack. It's suggested that platforms with UART
on IRQ0 will redefine is_real_interrupt(irq) macro but 8250 code
anyway overrides that. As the result, serial line on UART0 works
on polling-way and we have character loss on high baud rates.

In patch I added check if UART0 is on IRQ0, if so we define
is_real_interrupt macro to be 1 (true). Also, check if
is_real_interrupt macro is already defined added to 8250 UART
driver.
