serial: 8250, increase PASS_LIMIT
commit e7328ae1848966181a7ac47e8ae6cddbd2cf55f3 upstream. With virtual machines like qemu, it's pretty common to see "too much work for irq4" messages nowadays. This happens when a bunch of output is printed on the emulated serial console. This is caused by too low PASS_LIMIT. When ISR loops more than the limit, it spits the message. I've been using a kernel with doubled the limit and I couldn't see no problems. Maybe it's time to get rid of the message now?
