It's that way because selecting any 8xx automatically configures
a serial console. You can't get a serial console without selecting
PC-Style uarts.  You can't select PC-Style uarts on the 8xx because
they assume they are the only serial ports on a system and that
is where a console belongs.  This prevents using the 8xx CPM
serial ports.

We should change this to allow both PC uarts and the CPM uarts
to co-exist.  The only board I know of that mixes these is the
MBX, so it is low on my list of things to do.

That is pretty out of date.  I need to create a real configuration
file that is kept with the kernel sources.
