I've committed this changes. As Jason said, if you find any problem,
please report via send-pr(1).

Then, now we have a new problem other than driver itself
but device names created by MAKEDEV.

Previously, DCA, DCM, and APCI used the following device node:

DCA(single port):	/dev/tty0  major 12, minor 0
DCM(four ports):	/dev/tty0[0123] major 13, minor 0,1,2,3
APCI(four ports):	/dev/ttya[0123] major 31, minor 0,1,2,3

Now both DCA and APCI switched to MI com(4) which using NS16550,
then they have the same major (12). DCM still has its own node.

MI src/etc/MAKEDEV.tmpl uses tty[0-9] and tty[01][0-9] for com(4),
and several MD MAKEDEV.conf have MD names for their com(4) devices.
On hp300, what names should be used for these serial devices?
