I think you mean the tty layer here - the tty layer is where most of the serialisation problems remain, and the locking in the serial layer is mostly there to work around the tty layers deficiencies.
I would have liked to have rewritten the tty layer along the lines that Ted was suggesting, but that would've been far too much work for me to do alone.
