Understood.  As I mentioned earlier[1], I'd done sparc builds, but
completely missed the fact that sparc didn't have 8250 enabled
by default. Good intentions, but bad execution.  Sorry about

It only uses suncore.h for sunserial_register_minors (and unreg).
Would you like it better if I killed all ifdefs and the include
and used an incantation of weak instead?  Might be cleaner....
