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.
