Why do we need IRQF_PERCPU here. A UART interrupt is not normally
per-cpu?

IRQF_SHARED?

Currrently there is nothing that prevents concurrent activation of
ttyNMI0 and the underlying serial driver. Using IRQF_SHARED means it
becomes possible for both drivers to try to service the same interrupt.
That risks some rather "interesting" problems.
