[POWERPC] Optionally use new device number for pmac_zilog 



This adds the option for the pmac_zilog driver to use the major/minor
numbers recently allocated specifically for it (/dev/ttyPZn) instead
of the /dev/ttySn numbers.  The advantage of doing this is that it
allows the pmac_zilog and 8250 drivers to coexist.  The disadvantage
of doing this is that it is a user-visible ABI change and it will
break existing working setups on powermacs, and could be confusing to
users.

	  The pmac_zilog driver for the z85C30 chip on many powermacs

	  historically used the device numbers for /dev/ttySn.  The

	  8250 serial port driver also uses these numbers, which means

	  the two drivers being unable to coexist; you could not use

	  both z85C30 and 8250 type ports at the same time.



	  If this option is not selected, the pmac_zilog driver will

	  use the device numbers allocated for /dev/ttyPZn.  This allows

	  the pmac_zilog and 8250 drivers to co-exist, but may cause

	  existing userspace setups to break.  Programs that need to

	  access the built-in serial ports on powermacs will need to

	  be reconfigured to use /dev/ttyPZn instead of /dev/ttySn.



	  If you enable this option, any z85c30 ports in the system will

	  be registered as ttyS0 onwards as in the past, and you will be

	  unable to use the 8250 module for PCMCIA or other 16C550-style

	  UARTs.



	  Say N unless you need the z85c30 ports on your powermac

	  to appear as /dev/ttySn.
