Existing infrastructure doesn't create any symbolic links to com
port.(At least on my machine...)
So, I can't see how we can break things by creating "COM1" alias for
COM1.
COM3 and COM4 aliases still point to COM1 and COM2, and this can
really break debug output and serial mouse.
Just renaming symbolic links can't solve the problem. In my opinion,
the right solution is to disable COM1 and COM2 at all,
and make COM3 and COM4 symbolic links point to real COM3 and COM4. So,
I will be able to hack on serial driver
without touching debug output :)
I've got a machine at work with... hmm... 6 or 8 serial ports...
something like that... I'd be happy to test it if somebody thinks it's
ready. If you want I'll give you details on exactly what hardware it is
when I get there today.
