Subject: [PATCH v11 16/19] serial: asc: Add support for KGDB's FIQ/NMI mode

Add a .poll_init() function that enables UART RX and registers the
UART's irq with KGDB. By providing this information to KGDB the serial
driver offers "permission" for KGDB to route the UART interrupt signal
from the drivers own handler to KGDBs FIQ handler (which will eventually
use the UART's polled I/O callbacks to interact with the user).

Note that the RX is not only enabled but also unmasked. This is required
because otherwise the FIQ handler could never trigger. This unmask is
copied from similar code in amba-pl011.c .
