I have a six-port BOCA serial card.  It is supported by the standard
serial driver with multi-port extension and share IRQ.  devfs doesn't
do anything with this... I have to manually create the devices.  I
think that may be inevitable, since even the serial driver can't
really detect these kinds of cards and you have to use 'setserial'
configure them.  What's the best way to deal with this?  Maybe 
devfsd special case for them?  Or should the serial driver have
devfs code to do the right thing once setserial 'activates' a port?
