Actually, it's not simply a platform driver or macio driver. I think the 
console is supposed to be registered before the normal bus matching takes 
place. Hence this comment in pmac_zilog.c,

        /* 
         * First, we need to do a direct OF-based probe pass. We
         * do that because we want serial console up before the
         * macio stuffs calls us back, and since that makes it
         * easier to pass the proper number of channels to
         * uart_register_driver()
         */

Laurent, can we avoid the irq == 0 warning splat like this?
