audio(4) and tty(4) are very different from my view; audio(4) has the
single entry and drivers implement backend.  tty(4) is a common
interface through which kernel accesses serial devices (correct me if
wrong).

I'm very curious which architecture looks better to you, because I
have a vague idea to make tty(4) to something like audio(4).
