dz.c: Resource management
This is a set of changes to implement proper resource management in the driver, including iomem space reservation and operating on physical addresses ioremap()ped appropriately using accessory functions rather than unportable direct assignments. Some adjustments to code are made to reflect the architecture of the interface, which is a centrally controlled multiport (or, as referred to from DEC documentation, a serial line multiplexer, going up to 8 lines originally) rather than a bundle of separate ports. Types are changed, where applicable, to specify the width of hardware registers explicitly. The interrupt handler is now managed in the ->startup() and ->shutdown() calls for consistency with other drivers and also in preparation to handle the handover from the initial firmware-based console gracefully.
