I'm starting to think that the problem is related to interrupts. I also get one
or two messages `Keyboard timeout[2]', and the keyboard (PS/2) doesn't seem to
work (Caps Lock doesn't toggle the Caps Lock LED).

Besides, things are getting worse. For the current vger kernel, I needed this
patch to make it compile:

And now my serial console is scrambled after the serial port init :-(
