Here's a new version of the serdev bus support with all the review
feedback so far incorporated. I've left it named serdev for now pending
any further votes one way or the other, but I did rename the sysfs visible
portions to "serial".

There's still some discussion about what to do with devices that pass thru
data to userspace unmodified like GPS and could still use tty device for
the data path. IMO, we should treat this as a separate problem following
this series. Drivers we want to convert to serdev and already in the
kernel don't need this functionality.

I need a SoB from Alan on his patch 2 and would like review from Alan and/or
Peter on the locking in patch 5.

I've applied the first 4 patches now, can you respin this and hopefully
Peter will review that patch, as I'd like him to before taking it.

thanks,
