The SPCR spec says that the Base Address fields being zero means that
console redirection is disabled (though I'm not clear on whether or not
that requires the whole acpi_generic_address to be zero).

Can we not use that here?

Shannon changed the code from 0 to 0xffffffffffffffff following my
suggestion to his previous series, but I didn't realize that the SPCR
spec says 0 means no console redirection. In that case using 0 is
better.
