functionality for the UARTs.  Also, I modified the GPIO settings for
      

We definitely do NOT want any hardware handshake on the serial
console. Never.
    

Ack, we don't want hardware handshake enabled in U-Boot. But if I understand 
this correctly, then this patch from Steven configures the RTS/CTS lines 
correctly (they are multiplexed with other signals), so that they *can* be 
used by the OS if needed. It doesn't enable hardware handshake in U-Boot.

Steven please correct me if I am wrong here.
