There might be some conflict here with speakup and such options.  When Kirk
so wonderfully wrote the transport driver for me and I compiled speakup
into 2.2.12, I had serial consoles compiled in at the time, though I
hadn't actually set the thing up.  Speakup 0.08 did not like this at all
and oopsed out.  Removing it from my kernel fixed it nicely.  I don't know
if anything has been done about this or not, but it's possible that such
code will not work at all with speakup installed.
