Thanks for publishing your branch!

Nice achievement so far. As of now, I guess we have several machines in
this state (no serial user input/output): bbxm, bbone, malta and now
Raspberry Pi. So solving the serial user input output is a generic issue
and all the above machines will benefit from it, including those that
normally use a graphics framebuffer and keyboard.

Is this the same device? Or at least a compatible one? I am very much in
favor of unifying the drivers when it makes sense. On the other hand,
should it be a completely different device, we better keep the drivers
separate.
