I'd go further than that. Really, unless your serial device driver is
seriously hindering overall system performance (e.g. on a 68000-based
machine), you're much better to stick with serial.device. I've never had
problems with it, unlike with a whole load of third party versions which have
appeared over the years. On a reasonably fast machine these reworkings make
no noticable difference anyway.
