MI kernel interface change.

I'd done that myself (and actually, have started before my vacation to do mfc),
but...

like the ser.c, the mfc amd msc drivers were written some couple
of kernel configuration system versions ago. They were never really
upgraded, just hacked a bit to make them compile again, so each
time I look at them, I would rater rewrite more parts than just do
the interface change part. Of course, I dont have the time to even think
about that. (I expected to need a working ser.c for a different project, so
I did that one.)
