Support for the Stallion multiport serial drivers was removed in v3.1.
Clean up their last references in the tree: mainly an outdated Kconfig
entry and unneeded documentation.

The crisv10.c and the atmel_serial.c serial drivers intepret the fields of the
serial_rs485 structure in a different way.
In particular, crisv10.c uses SER_RS485_RTS_AFTER_SEND and
SER_RS485_RTS_ON_SEND for the voltage of the RTS pin; atmel_serial.c,
instead, uses these values to know if a delay must be set before and
after sending. This patch makes the usage of these variables consistent
across all drivers and fixes the Documentation as well.
From now on, SER_RS485_RTS_AFTER_SEND and SER_RS485_RTS_ON_SEND will be
used to set the voltage of the RTS pin (as in the crisv10.c driver); the
delay will be understood by looking only at the value of
delay_rts_before_send and delay_rts_after_send.

Below you will find an updated version from the original series bunching all patches into one big patch
updating broken web addresses that are located in Documentation/*
Some of the addresses date as far far back as 1995 etc... so searching became a bit difficult,
the best way to deal with these is to use web.archive.org to locate these addresses that are outdated.
Now there are also some addresses pointing to .spec files some are located, but some(after searching
on the companies site)where still no where to be found. In this case I just changed the address
to the company site this way the users can contact the company and they can locate them for the users.

Serial drivers using DMA (like the atmel_serial driver) tend to get very
confused when the xmit buffer is flushed and nobody told them. They
also tend to spew a lot of garbage since the DMA engine keeps running
after the buffer is flushed and possibly refilled with unrelated data.
This patch adds a new flush_buffer operation to the uart_ops struct,
along with a call to it from uart_flush_buffer() right after the xmit
buffer has been cleared. The driver can implement this in order to
syncronize its internal DMA state with the xmit buffer when the buffer
is flushed.

The start_tx and stop_tx methods were passed a flag to indicate
whether the start/stop was from the tty start/stop callbacks, and
some drivers used this flag to decide whether to ask the UART to
immediately stop transmission (where the UART supports such a
feature.)
There are other cases when we wish this to occur - when CTS is
lowered, or if we change from soft to hard flow control and CTS
is inactive. In these cases, this flag was false, and we would
allow the transmitter to drain before stopping.
There is really only one case where we want to let the transmitter
drain before disabling, and that's when we run out of characters
to send.
Hence, re-jig the start_tx and stop_tx methods to eliminate this
flag, and introduce new functions for the special "disable and
allow transmitter to drain" case.

This patch changes the way serial ports are locked when getting modem
status. This change is necessary because we will need to atomically

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.
Let it rip!
