[FIXME] Comments on serial and MMC changes in MIPS merge

Some comments on the recent MIPS merge:

1. au1xxx mmc driver

mmc_remove_host() does a safe shutdown of the MMC host, removing
cards and then powering down. This must be called prior to the
driver thinking of tearing anything down.

As for those disable_irq()...enable_irq(), are you aware that MMC
can start talking to the host as soon as you've called mmc_add_host() ?

2. IP3106 serial driver

-#define PORT_MAX_8250 15 /* max port ID */
+#define PORT_IP3106 16
+#define PORT_MAX_8250 16 /* max port ID */

Do not add new port numbers after the 8250 port number range.
Add them on the end of the list.

Since this will get in the way of additional 8250 ports, it's a
serious problem. Please fix ASAP.

(btw, I notice that this change was _not_ included with the
IP3106 driver you sent for review.)
