Are you sure you need Linux there? There is a nice Zephyr project
(OpenSource RTOS, POSIX compatible) exactly for microcontrollers.

While I can agree on making Linux stuff less fatty, I can't agree on
doing this way. We have for now two subsystems to serve for serial
devices, you are proposing third one for only narrow class of devices.
From my point of view is better to achive your goal with existing
system (as a proof of concept maybe even with ugly #ifdef:fery).
