Okay, everyone has missed my point.

I am just being purposefully anal about this...but I should be able to put
a line options serial com3 irq 4 blah blah blah, and just have the serial
module use the correct irq etc from the beginning. I (for some reason)
don't like the idea of having to spawn a program to reconfigure the
module on every load...seems to me that that is a few cpu cycles that
could be better spent doing something else.

Lastly, I just wanna say that I don't intend to change my config...I was
merely trying to voice my opinion on how it should be set up...
