I think serious thought should be given to supporting the NS16550AN.  
This is a plug in replacement for the existing uart that gives you a 
16 byte fifo.  At least the problem would go from "there is nothing 
that can be done" to "you need to buy a new chip".  I don't know what 
the cost is though.
