[PATCH] serial: Use real irq on UART0 (IRQ = 0) on PPC4xx systems

This patch fixes a problem seen on multiple 4xx platforms, where
the UART0 interrupt number is 0. The macro "is_real_interrupt" lead
on those systems to not use an real interrupt but the timer based
implementation.

This problem was detected and fixed by
Charles Gales <cgales at amcc.com> and John Baxter <jbaxter at amcc.com>
from AMCC.
