 ==== TTY Layer ====
 
-The TTY layer is needed for proper serial port support in Haiku. 
-Until now the serial port was reserved for kernel debugging, 
-but it is now time for proper userland support. 
-Rewrite the API that was available in BeOS R5, 
-and make sure it can be used with a real serial port. 
-USB to serial converter may or may not be included.

-Currently, the TTY layer is written mostly with the usb_serial
-in mind, so it uses stuff that might not be easy or possible at all to
-use in more low-level drivers (like pc_serial). 
-The API could use improvements. Locking issues exist.
-Also the generic module is not yet in the image due to these.

-Note: This task could include finishing phoudin's libusb port, which would help to make the driver more feature complete.
