Hmmm. Patches are welcome. I ain't sure that it's possible to make a
'zb-debug' message
to be put in the middle of the protocol.

Anyway, serial.c needs a great rework. It needs to be rewritten to use skbs
skb_queues internally. Also it would be great to make it support several
protocols (like hci_uart), as I'd like to present an RFC for the next generation
of serial communications protocol, that would be less phy-oriented, more
extensible, etc.
