Given that this SoC uses an interrupt controller for which there's
already a driver (so there's no need to wait for a later patch before
interrupts work), and that patch 1/6 adds debug/bcm476x.S anyway, I'd be
inclined to just squash this patch into the very first one myself.

If not, this patch isn't really just instantiating the console UART, but
also allowing the DEBUG_LL implementation to be selected.
