I don't understand.  Why hoist it up into remote.c, before each call to
serial_open?  That just descends through serial_open to call net_open
and the warning would arrive at the same position; the warning is
specific to ser-tcp, and seems to belong there.

Perhaps if you explain what you're trying to accomplish by having it
somewhere else.
