Subject: kernel BUG and freeze on cat /proc/tty/driver/serial

Hello,
reading /proc/tty/driver/serial leads to a NULL pointer dereference BUG
and freeze on a serial-console enabled 2.6.35.{4,10,11} and 2.6.37.
2.6.32.28 does fine without BUG and freeze.
Fresh boot 2.6.35.11 into emergency...

2.6.37 doesn't print a full trace before freezing but only the first two
lines or less.
Either disabling the serial console or running setserial -g on the
serial console port avoids the BUG and the freeze:
