[XenPPC] [PATCH] Command line option for serial port

[Amos Waterland <apw@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Allow the user to specify serial=X as a Xen command line argument.  I
spent some time working on a more general solution, but I think it's
best for now to submit this version which properly handles the JS21
blades that I have access to, and let people with Maple-D and other
hardware add their handlers as needed.

This patch assumes the existence of the "add support for builtin command
line (take two)" patch posted earlier.
