If I write a module implementing a line discipline, how would I go about having that line discipline push itself onto a given serial port (specified for example through a module parameter) immediately, during its own module initialization? I can't seem to find an in-kernel interface for that. Also, if I understand correctly, this would only work if the driver is compiled as a module, but such a limitation seems to be frowned upon within the kernel community. Any way around that?
