With 2.6.30-rc1 on SMDK6410 I experience a soft lockup on bootup when
the Samsung serial driver attempts to disable the transmit interrupt
from within the transmit interrupt handler: it calls disable_irq()
which locks up due to attempting to synchronise with the running handler.
Fix this by using disable_irq_nosync().

Also make the same change in the recieve path.
