It's not very portable.  RI is not connected on at least some Cyclades
boards, although it is supported by the CD1400.

I am working on speeding up the 16550 driver.  It is now more efficient
than the Cyclades driver for input as well as for output (modulo the
poor demultiplexing of the IRQ in the multiport case).
