serial/8250_pci: add a "force background timer" flag and use it for the "kt" serial port Workaround dropped notifications in the iir register. Register reads coincident with new interrupt notifications sometimes result in this device clearing the interrupt event without reporting it in the read data. The serial core already has a heuristic for determining when a device has an untrustworthy iir register. In this case when we apriori know that the iir is faulty use a flag (UPF_BUG_THRE) to bypass the test and force usage of the background timer.
