.PP
Register a uart driver with the core driver.  We in turn register
with the tty layer, and initialise the core driver per-port state.
.PP
We have a proc file in /proc/tty/driver which is named after the
normal driver.

drv->port should be NULL, and the per-port structures should be
registered using uart_add_one_port after this call has succeeded.
