Reading the uart iir register sometimes results in the interrupt being
cleared without being reported.  Use the the system interrupt pending
register as a fallback.

This converts locations in the code that only care about the interrupt
pending bit to use the iir_int_status() macro.

This patch has been sitting in the 'misc' branch of the xscaleiop tree
in an un-mergeable form for quite a while [1].  I finally got fed up
with forward porting it and would like to try to get this workaround
upstream.  There appears to be no maintainer for 8250.c, so not sure who
should merge this.  I can append it to the end of my next pull request
for the iop queue...?

Thanks,
Dan
