I can't recommend trying to merge with pmac_zilog. It's got some very mac specific bits including workarounds for the hardware bugs in some revisions of the ASIC that included Apple's implementation of the Zilog ESCC. It also has to handle the odd way Apple hooked up some of the non-data lines such as hardware flow control. The last issue would be the fact that it's a macio bus driver rather than a platform bus driver or something else available more generically. I'm not even 100% sure I can make pmac_zilog get shared with m68k macs, although I'm still looking into it. I would definitely look at one of the other *zilog drivers first.
