so all you need is a queue? then implement a queue or find an existing
implementation of a queue.

i don't see what 'raw character code' you're talking about. there's an
interface, that does not implement any queuing - each driver implements
its own queuing mechanism.

what you should think is, why are you implementing it in kernel space and
not in user space? it _Sounds_ as if you're talking about implementing a
protocol stack - is this the case? if it is, then have a look at how other
protocol stacks are implemented in the kernel, and see which
implementation suites you best.
