It's not impossible, but the hard part will be creating a naming
infrastructure so the user can specify the appropriate serial port if
there are multiple (non-console) tty devices present on the system.

My suggestion would be to get it working using a userspace daemon, and
then putting in the kernel code to open the serial port without a file
system.  It certainly can be done, with roughly the same techniques
that are used to mount the root file system in the non-initrd case.
