Unfortunately, this won't always help you if you use non-standard settings with
setserial (like different IRQs). Everytime the modules is unloaded, all 
settings are lost. If you don't want to build a new kernel, and you use
special settings, you have two options:
- Load the module before using setserial
- Use the post-install feature of kerneld setup your ports
