Actually, it's not simply a platform driver or macio driver. I think the
console is supposed to be registered before the normal bus matching takes
place. Hence this comment in pmac_zilog.c,
/*
* First, we need to do a direct OF-based probe pass. We

*/
Laurent, can we avoid the irq == 0 warning splat like this?
