disabling serial port for speakup module.

[Steve Holmes]

I would look at setserial and just include the setserial line before
whatever command you plan to use to start / load speakup modules.

I looked in linux/Documentation/kernel-parameters.txt briefly but could not find anything that would do as I wish. I could have an init script do it with setserial, but it seems like disabling the serial driver on that port at boot time would let speakup be loaded sooner. I am quite excited about the modularization of speakup as I think it makes its inclusion into the standard kernel tree that much more likely. Thanks again for all the hard work guys.
