    Not for EM.  It will mess up with or without polling.   I think I
    found the trouble, I screwed up some code that was handling a particular
    race condition.  I'm testing the fix now and expect to commit tonight.

    The code you quoted is correct.  The default initialization of the
    serializer is 'enabled'.  For polling operation the interrupt is 
    disabled.  When polling is turned off the interrupt is re-enabled.
