And you *do* need the line discipline code for booting on serial consoles,
serial logging of panics, and so on.

Does that require the line discipline code to be in the kernel, or would running it from the boot loader to set up the line suffice?

Not that I can immediately think of a single argument as to why having the code in the boot loader would be better than having it in the kernel...
