[NONSERIOUS PATCH]: Change Sun serial major/minor numbers...


[ Resending, my first send trigger'd vger filters ]

This is the non-serious patch I mentioned in my first posting
which changes all of the major/minor numbers used by the Sun
serial drivers in order to get out of the way of 8250's
major/minor namespace.

Again, this patch isn't meant to be taken seriously at all.
I'm not even willing to sign off on it :-)

as long as you are using udev, it wouldn't that big of a problem :)
