We at timing solutions had a heck of a time measuring timing things in userland and it became very easy to do it in kernel land. We used the parallel port to measure out pulses, but the same pps api that Poul should work for the serial port as well. And the advantage of the pps api is that it queues up events (iirc) and counts them so you know if the buffer overflowed and you missed any.
