I'm not sure that would help: the job is normally done by specialized
drivers for each USB->serial converter, and I'm not sure it would be
easier to make userspace drivers than kernel ones. (As an aside, I'm
still trying to get my Soekris console serial port to work, because it
has to work over a serial->ethernet, ethernet->serial, and serial->USB
converter. Data goes in one end and doesn't come out the other, and I'm
not really sure how to figure out where it's going...)
