+ *
+ * Much of the code here is copied from drivers/char/serial.c
+ * and implements a phony serial console in the same way that
+ * serial.c does so that in case some software queries it,
+ * it will get the same results.
+ *
+ * Things that are different from the way the serial port code
+ * does things, is that we call the lower level usb-serial
+ * driver code to initialize the device, and we set the initial
+ * console speeds based on the command line arguments.
