Currently the serial mouse ISD is using a BSerialPort and accessing only
the last device registered.  This allows for testing against a second
mouse thus not crippling the primary mouse if there were issues. :-)
Once the ISD is released into CSV everyone is welcome to change it to
make it better.  Or if you would like to help out with the Mouse ISD,
let me know offline and I can give you an honorary input_server team
membership and throw some code your way. :-)

Remember the mouse (both serial and PS/2) and keyboard data 
comes from the kb_mouse driver, and AFAIK the IOCTLs are the 
same for PS/2 and serial...

So, is this "serial mouse ISD" to be working for both, 
or you plan on using /dev/ports/serial1 instead of 
/dev/input/* ?
