No, it still oopses (the oops is at the end).
In addition, before this latest patch was applied, when playing with two
simultaneously run programs that do nothing but open/close the port in a
loop (and the port was idle, i.e., nothing came to it from outside),
I've once got this thing:
irq 58: nobody cared (try booting with the "irqpoll" option)

Disabling IRQ #58
Another thing that I've noticed, is that when two programs that
open/close a port in a loop run simultaneously, each of them begin to
sometimes fail to open the port with errno=5 (I/O Errror). Though this
thing happends even if I try to use /dev/ttyS0, so it is not
mxser-specific (/dev/null never fails).
Here is the oops I promised at the beginning:
BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 00000008
printing eip:
f927630f
*pde = 00000000
