I thought of that but serial is under Legacy IO part of sucky io.
ie it's not just one independent device like IDE and USB are which
could have it's PCI_ID listed *and recognised* by serial_pci_init().
Maybe I misunderstand your intent. If you code something up,
maybe someone with c3k/j5k can try it.

I agree it would better if serial_pci_init() found suckyio serial devices
and we didn't need the superio_serial_init() call in drivers/char/serial.c.
But I'd like to focus on getting IDE-CDROM working atm.

cheers!
