If I may throw in my 2 eurocents:
I think the Arguments-section is a bit misleading.
One doesn't specify ioaddr1, ioaddr2 etc. on the command line, as suggested
by ioaddr<N>, but ioaddr=[1.dev],[2.dev]...
Same for irq and tx_fifo.

What about this:

Arguments:
    ioaddr      - I/O addresses of devices (e.g. 0x3f8 for ttyS0), separated by 
comma
    irq         - interrupt numbers of devices (e.g. 4 for ttyS0), separated by 
comma
    tx_fifo     - Transmitter FIFO sizes in bytes of devices, default is 16, 
separated by comma
    start_index - First device instance number to be used, default is 0 => 
rtser0

Just trying to make it as clear as possible :-)

Best regards,
Hannes.
