SubjectLinux 3.15: SPARC serial console regression
Hi,

While testing the final 3.15, I noticed the serial console (sunsab)
does not work anymore on Sun Ultra.

It will tx fine the console output during the boot. But then I try
to type something e.g. at the login: prompt, it behaves oddly:
it re-transmits some old output, and then stalls for a few secs, usually
for each character. Typed characters are however received correctly.
But the console is impossible to use...

I bisected this to:
