Subject: [RFC PATCH 3/4] tty: omap-serial: use threaded interrupt handler

At 3.6Mbaud, with slightly over 2Mbit/s data coming in, we see 1600 uart
rx buffer overflows within 30 seconds. Threading the interrupt handling reduces
this to about 170 overflows in 10 minutes.

In practice this therefore reduces the need for hardware flow control,
meaning the sending side doesn't have to buffer as much either.
