[PATCH] serial uartlite driver

Add a driver for the Xilinx uartlite serial controller used in boards with
the PPC405 core in the Xilinx V2P/V4 fpgas.

The hardware is very simple (baudrate/start/stopbits fixed and no break
support).  See the datasheet for details:

	http://www.xilinx.com/bvdocs/ipcenter/data_sheet/opb_uartlite.pdf

See http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.serial/1237/ for the email thread.
