I have just had 3 of these kernel warnings with backtraces while using my USB
serial adapter.
I'm using the current kernel released with Lucid, on 32-bit x86. My serial
adapter is an Arkmicro Technologies Inc. ARK3116 Serial.
It's not just innocuous warnings. A script talking to the device at the
other and of the serial cable is getting garbage back from the serial
port. I've seen the garbage repeatedly during an hour long session (in
fact, can't use the script - the data coming back is too unreliable).
Specifically, it contains repeated portions of text sent earlier, over
and over. strace confirms the kernel serial driver is returning these
repeated bits of text, not a bug in the script. It's using Perl and
libexpect-perl. Strangely, when I use minicom to talk to the device
manually I don't get these repeated selections of old text back.
I had suspected the device at the other end, until I started getting
apport crash reports towards the end of my hour long session. Now I
suspect a bug in the usb-serial driver or the tty layer - both were
changed near this kernel version.
I will keep a copy of my script, to see if this can be reproduced
another time.
Rather than a one-off, this looks quite likely to duplicated as at least
some of these other reports:

These are my variations on the warnings:
