And whats the point for this one? TIOCGSERIAL is just some messy internals of the old serial.c driver (and serial_core now) that's exposed for the sake of setserial. Given that the sn console is quite different I don't see the point to emulate all the mess of a real serial driver - and if you want to do so use the serial_core framework.
