     You can't use <stdio.h> and it seems that the kernel
    functions for open,read,write and close are designed
    for calls from the user space.
     But I don't know how to do this either.
     (I wanna write a MIDI device driver for the Yamaha TG100
    which can be connected to a serial interface and it seems
    to be a bad idea to rewrite serial.c for this since there
    are so many serial interface types.)
