What about this something like this in the config file for a part:

        ...
        serial   = yes | no;
        parallel = yes | no | nohiv;
        ...

The result of setting these would be to set some single bit flags that
could be queried within stk500_initialize() in order to pass the right
values to the stk500.

Is it the case that _all_ devices support serial so maybe including
that would be redundent.
