The serial code is pretty bullet proof in it's probes.  If it can't generate
the interrupt it will fail the probe.  This was a safe GENERIC thing to do,
and IRQ9 is the most common alternate interrupt for a serial port card that
supports the I/O address for sio3.

Also by deleting the line you now require anyone using 4 com ports to
config a kernel :-(.  Before if they had a different IRQ and simple
boot -c would have fixed them up.

Please but sio3 back.
