x86 users expect COM1-COM4 ports at the conventional ioport addresses
to be named ttyS0-ttyS3.  For PNP devices, the BIOS determines the
order we discover them, so we might discover COM2 before COM1.

We currently always get the correct names, even without this patch.
But that's only because serial8250_isa_init_ports() first registers
the hard-coded list of COM port addresses from SERIAL_PORT_DFNS.  When
PNP rediscovers one of those ports, it gets the already-established
line.

This patch removes the implicit dependency on SERIAL_PORT_DFNS by
requesting the names we desire.
