Subject: [patch 0/2] goldfish: Prevent the trainwreck from doing harm

The goldfish android emulator platform is a complete trainwreck which
causes havoc when enabled in Kconfig.

Aside of unconditionally registering a platform device with hardcoded
address ranges, it prevents the serial interrupt from being requested and
in case of a spurious interrupt the broken interrupt handler of the
pdev_bus driver goes into a hard to debug infinite loop.

Thanks to Gabriel and Borislav for providing patiently debug information.

No thanks to the folks @Intel who choked this $corporate trainwreck down
our throat and wasted the time of everyone who got bitten by this.

Thanks,

	tglx
