The receiver status register reports latched error conditions, which
must be cleared by writing to it. However, the data register reports
unlatched conditions which are associated with the current character.
Use the data register to interpret error status rather than the RSR.

Patch from Vincent Sanders
When building the ARM platforms several serial drivers fail to compile
with GCC 4.01 due to extern/static ambiguity.

Add uart_insert_char(), which handles inserting characters into the
flip buffer. This helper function handles the correct semantics
for handling overrun in addition to inserting normal characters.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.
Let it rip!
