I am not sure if you can have a full working solution to make all programs run using the virtual serial ports. Because, there *might* be some programs which actually use the 'in' and 'out' instructions of the processor directly from a user space program. (After calling iopl/ioperm etc to elevate their I/O privileges to directly use the IO ports) I dont think even a kernel change can help in that case...
