I remember discussing with the LinuxBIOS list a year or two ago, the 
issue of what to do when chipsets drop having any serial ports.

We are currently working on mainboard designs that will not have any 
serial ports with chipsets that don't have any serial ports. What did we 
decide to do with LinuxBIOS, since the future is now?
