I will first create a patch to split the Moxa-related code from
`8250_pci.c` into `8250_moxa.c`. Then, I will try to migrate `mxser.c`
to `8250_moxa.c` and handle MXSER_HIGHBAUD there.

Yes, I know you have been working hard to convert `mxser.c` into a
general driver, and I truly appreciate your efforts.

However, I am curious if a general serial driver can support the full
functionality of PCI serial boards. Additionally, what's the plans for
addressing specific functionalities?
