I noticed this and I am working on fixing it up for a new Dragonball
homebrew machine.
I'm trying to add a 68000 machine to QEMU to make the development
easier because I'm currently waiting an hour or more for a kernel to
load over serial.
It might be a few months.

It looked like 68328serial.c was removed because someone tried to
clean it up and it was decided that no one was using it and it was
best to delete it.
My plan was to at some point send a series to fix up the issues with
the Dragonball support, revert removing the serial driver and adding
the patch that cleaned it up.

Cheers,

Daniel
