a slightly better question would be:
does it fix the serial driver.

the answer to that is: right now, it's the stock
serial driver plus patches.

incorporation of Bruce Evans' interrupt, NPX, and
serial driver code will probably happen
by the first few source diff releases, i.e. probably
within a month or so.
