sounds like a possible interrupt storm, or the modem isn't getting
mapped to the address we think it is (see the 8250 message, there are
no 8250 pcmcia modems), so the first interrupt we get, we spin forever
in siointr.  I think I'm going to put code into the pcmcia attachment
that actively fails to attach to 8250's on pcmcia.

Can I get a more complete dmesg?  I assume that the sources are from
June 1?
