[Xen-devel] [PATCH v2] ns16550: misc minor adjustments

["Jan Beulich" <JBeulich@xxxxxxxx>]

First and foremost: fix documentation: The use of "clock_hz", when
"base_baud" was meant, has taken me several hours (suspecting a more
complicated problem with the PCIe card I've been trying to get
working). At once correct the "gdb" option, which is more like
"console", not like "com<N>".

Next, fix the types of ns_{read,write}_reg(): Especially the former
having had a signed return type so far caused quite interesting effects
when determining to baud rate if "auto" was specified. In that same
code, also avoid dividing by zero when in fact the baud rate was not
previously set up.

Further, accept I/O port based serial PCI cards with a port range wider
than 8 bytes.

Finally, slightly rearrange struct ns16550 to reduce holes.

v2: Log a message when reading zero divisor. Make an attempt at
    explaining what "base baud rate" means.

   the bootloader or other earlier firmware has already set it up.

   * `D` is an integer between 5 and 8 for the number of data bits.
