You understand, I hope, that setserial does not alter the properties
of the serial port hardware. If the hardware is configured for IRQ3
or IRQ<whatever>, it will STILL be so-configured after you run setserial.
The purpose in setserial is to tell the OS about the actual settings
of the hardware. So if your serial port is config'd to IRQ3 (say), and
you tell the OS it's some other value (with setserial) then I'd expect
potential "bad things" to happen when the port raises its actual IRQ line.
