Subject[2.1.65] New patch for serial port IRQ setup.
I've been made aware that some manufacturers of internal modems recommend
using irq 2 for COM 4, while other recommende using irq 9. I've made this
a configuration option.

Please test this patch and let me know what you think.

CONFIG_SERIAL_SHARE_IRQ
Some serial boards have hardware support which allows multiple dumb
serial ports on the same board to share a single IRQ. To enable
- support for this in the serial driver, say Y here.
