I guess that's my question.  Is there a real use case for having console
output go to the serial port, and TTY go to a byte channel?  Even if you
wanted to do that, I supposed you don't need to load the byte channel
driver as a module to get that behavior.

Anyway, that's all academic.  A more important question is: now that the
driver can't be compiled as a module, should I change module_init() to
something else (like device_initcall)?

Should I remove this line?

	#include <linux/module.h>
