+Subject: [PATCH] term/ns8250-spcr: return if redirection is disabled
+
+The Microsoft spec for SPCR says "The base address of the Serial Port register
+set described using the ACPI Generic Address Structure, or 0 if console
+redirection is disabled." so return if disable (base address = 0). If this check
+is not done, we may get invalid ports for those particular machines that
+redirection is disabled and at some point hanging the booting execution when
+reading the grub.cfg configuration file.
