[POWERPC] Optionally use new device number for pmac_zilog
This adds the option for the pmac_zilog driver to use the major/minor
numbers recently allocated specifically for it (/dev/ttyPZn) instead
of the /dev/ttySn numbers. The advantage of doing this is that it
allows the pmac_zilog and 8250 drivers to coexist. The disadvantage
of doing this is that it is a user-visible ABI change and it will
break existing working setups on powermacs, and could be confusing to
users.
