Subject: [PATCH 22/26] 8250: Allow port type to specify bugs that are not probed for.

Add a bugs field to the serial8250_config and propagate it to the
port's bugs field when the port is registered and configured.

This is a follow on to the previous patch.  Now that we can specify
the port type and don't have to probe for it, we can avoid probing for
bugs if they are known with certainty to exist.

The alternative is to load up 8250.c with a bunch of OCTEON specific
special cases in the probing code.
