Hi everybody!

I need to use a GSM modem attached to a serial port from domU running
Linux 2.6.11 on Xen 2.0.6 (or I could go with -testing if needed).

I don't use it for networking, but for text messaging - it talks to a
database and some other processes, i.e. I'd really like to avoid
having the userspace driver in dom0. Is that somehow possible? I only
know about dedicating whole PCI devices to domains but how about
giving them serial ports? Is that possible?

Given that I know the IRQ/iobase, have kernel with drivers in domU, etc...

Thanks!

Giovanni
