This is another question. The problem you mentioned is that it's not 
possible to ask for the number of serial ports. You said it's only 
through the RSVF cookie possible. But to use a cookie for this isn't a 
good design. A ioctl or something like this is much better.

On /dev, not a special device I mean.
