You could use a module for serial port support
The only slight problem that I have with that is that I do need one of the serial ports to be working under Linux, so I have to have the loaded somehow - don't I???
There's an option in the kernel configuration menus to have 'non-standard' serial port support, which can be ports at other addresses. I had a quick look at it once and had what could be charitably described as mixed results so YMMV as they say. There's always a problem with not having a separate interrupt for each port, that's just designed into the PC and there's not much you can do about it but use only some of the ports.
