- * This routine is used to handle the "bottom half" processing for the
- * serial driver, known also the "software interrupt" processing.
- * This processing is done at the kernel interrupt level, after the
- * cy#/_interrupt() has returned, BUT WITH INTERRUPTS TURNED ON.  This
- * is where time-consuming activities which can not be done in the
- * interrupt driver proper are done; the interrupt driver schedules
- * them using cy_sched_event(), and they get done here.
- *
- * This is done through one level of indirection--the task queue.
- * When a hardware interrupt service routine wants service by the
- * driver's bottom half, it enqueues the appropriate tq_struct (one
- * per port) to the keventd work queue and sets a request flag
- * that the work queue be processed.
- *
- * Although this may seem unwieldy, it gives the system a way to
- * pass an argument (in this case the pointer to the cyclades_port
- * structure) to the bottom half of the driver.  Previous kernels
- * had to poll every port to see if that port needed servicing.
