Can you please at leat leave in tree serial.rst since it has generic
nature and not describing only ioc3_serial driver? Does ioc3_serial
the only serial driver available under ia64 ? Or can we please not to
loose some docs? Or do we have a more common serial driver description
somewhere which has info on ia64 serial driver/ports ?

Thanks.
