I am not the David mentioned in the previous email, but I also have a serial interface driver that I've been working on which uses a line discipline instead of hooking into the serial driver directly. The only drawback is that you can't send messages at panic time.

There are some problems with that patch; it's not in a state that can go
to kernel.org. The nasty part about that driver is that it sits on top
of the serial port driver, and that's going to be tough to change in
kernel.org.
The patches posted do work, and it is possible to integrate them. But I
can't see them going into kernel.org as-is.
