serial port-to-netdevice tap

["Eble, Dan" <DanE@xxxxxxxxxx>]

A coworker of mine wants an easy way to monitor data transfer and control
line changes on an serial port.  His first impulse was to create a /proc
file, but I suggested a netlink socket, or even a raw net device so that he
can take advantage of libpcap for some pretty powerful filtering.  Does
anything like this exist already?
