It looks reasonable to me.
There are some formatting issues, but nothing too serious.

Do you have a copyright assignment in place?
If not, contact me off list and I will get you started on that.

This would need at least a ChangeLog entry, documentation patch, and
NEWS patch to be complete.  A test case would be nice as well, though I
can see how it would be hard to make it actually do anything :)

Yurij> Do you plan to use "class serial" (set serial ...) for serial settings?
Yurij> "set serial parity <odd | even | none>" is more convenient way.

I didn't even know about "set serial".
It seems like dead code; but I'd have to dig into the history there to
find out.
