Tricks within serial8250_handle_irq(), see [0]. It is not a lot but
still. I could provide my own handle irq, just asking what you would
prefer.

Correct. However there is another change due to the RX_DMA_BUG. A while
ago you said that this RX_DMA_BUG thing might be something that other
SoC could use, too.
If you ask me now for my own irq routine it would make sense to move RX
bug handling into omap specific code as well.
