I found some patches by Ingo Molnar, but they look like kernel mods.

What I'm really looking for is a way to redirect this from userspace in a stock
kernel. I want the serial console as normal, but then for just debugging this
one thing I want to telnet in over ethernet and basically redirect /dev/ttyS0
onto my telnet session.

Is this possible?
