3 Serial port access is no longer 'direct' - instead of
4 directly communicating with the hardware (which requires
5 root access and only works with standard hardware), the
6 serial port interface is now used.

10 is the default port type, works similar to 'serial-raw', except
11 that it requires a filename instead of a base address. (e.g.
12 not 2f8 but /dev/ttyS0)
