We were hoping to have the DM stream output from a virtual serial port
for easy & direct access for 3rd party developers (file handles are
simple and straightforward to read/write from). My thought is that
implementing this in a userspace daemon/program requires cross-process
communication which I feel is a bit more complex (or is there a standard
way for a userspace program to output to a virtual serial port to obtain
the same net effect).
