PATCH 1/1 PPC4xx UART0 (8250) problem

On PPC4xx embedded we often have UART0 on IRQ0 but 8250 UART driver uses IRQ0 as "no irq" hack.
It's suggested that platforms with UART on IRQ0 will redefine is_real_interrupt(irq) macro but 8250 code anyway overrides that. As the result, serial line on UART0 works on polling-way and we have character loss on high baud rates.

In patch I've added check if UART0 is on IRQ0, if so we define is_real_interrupt macro to be 1 (true).
Also, check if is_real_interrupt macro is already defined added to 8250 UART driver.
