[PATCH] Serial 8250: Handle saving the clear-on-read bits from the LSR and MSR

[Corey Minyard <minyard@acm.org>]

I haven't heard anything on this patch.  This is moved up to 2.6.22-rc7.
Is there anything that needs to change to get it included?

Subject: Serial 8250: Handle saving the clear-on-read bits from the LSR and MSR

Reading the LSR clears the break, parity, frame error, and overrun
bits in the 8250 chip, but these are not being saved in all places
that read the LSR.  Same goes for the MSR delta bits.  Save the LSR
bits off whenever the lsr is read so they can be handled later in the
receive routine.  Save the MSR bits to be handled in the modem status
routine.

Also, clear the stored bits and clear the interrupt registers before
enabling interrupts, to avoid handling old values of the stored bits
in the interrupt routines.
