What I think you're talking about is usually called a "line
discipline":
http://www.linux-mag.com/id/1891/
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Line_discipline
http://www.linux.it/~rubini/docs/serial/serial.html
[Some of those links are a bit out-of-date, but should provide a good
idea what a line discipline is.]
Line disciplines are kernel drivers that use a well-defined API to
talk to the tty/serial/uart drivers that exist at a lower layer.
