Does standard "serial.c" work for HD64461 with little change?

Well, it would be bad idea for us to use /dev/ttyS0 for SCI/F as if it
were standard serial device.  We would need to get assigenment of new
device number for SCI/SCIF.  Say, /dev/ttySC0, /dev/ttySC1, and
/dev/ttySC2.

If we need this (independent # for SCI/F), sooner is better (before
the release of 2.4).

Please let me know your opinion.
