Serial conflict

Hi
Doesn't work, unfortunately. I do have it sort of working with the git
version (staging isn't working) but not the way it should be. Speakup
and the kernel's serial driver constantly battle over it. Seriously,
this is 2011. One would think we'd be over having to recompile kernels
for things like this.
