Bah. I didn't notice this while merging, so it's in my tree now, but
that SERIAL_8250_PCI1XXXX shouldn't default to on.

The Kconfig file has

    config SERIAL_8250_PCI1XXXX
        tristate "Microchip 8250 based serial port"
        depends on SERIAL_8250 && PCI
        select SERIAL_8250_PCILIB
        default SERIAL_8250
        ...

and I don't think that "default" line should exist. It's not like this
is some super-common board that everybody should enable.

When I notice things in time, I tend to just fix this up in the merge
itself, but this time I had already done a couple of other of your
pulls before I noticed this thing.
