Yes, this is a relic from how the console and serial subsystem
do their device naming.
I left the serial device name at ttyS* so that there wouldn't
need to be special knowledge of this in whatever distribution
bits set up and configure serial consoles.
In hindsight that might have been a mistake, and perhaps I should have
named both things ttyHV* but there's no way I can change it now
without breaking more than I would fix.
