I tried booting 2.6.12-rc3-mm2 + this patch on a JS20 here and it seemed
to go well. Serial options enabled were:

CONFIG_SERIAL_8250=y
CONFIG_SERIAL_8250_CONSOLE=y
CONFIG_SERIAL_8250_NR_UARTS=4
# CONFIG_SERIAL_8250_EXTENDED is not set
# Non-8250 serial port support
CONFIG_SERIAL_CORE=y
CONFIG_SERIAL_CORE_CONSOLE=y
