I've got this fish caught in the my serial driver rewrite - the driver
always handles the requesting and freeing of the resources. If it is
unable to request the resources, then you will receive a suitable error
when trying to configure two ports.

Please note that I'm not about to take on maintainence of the current
serial.c driver, except where I spot obvious bugs.

I'd recommend that you pass this one to Marcelo to incorporate (only
after he's got his feet on the ground again. 8)) It looks sensible.
