Nothing revolutionary :-() ... just killing the adequate modules
and drivers on demand of services by the corresponding programs.
I use a simple ad-hoc daemon-like shell script for that.

A simplification is that both IR *transmission* through lircd 
and *output* commands to the B&B 232SDD16 RxD line can be done 
at the same time, without killing either the lirc(d) or the serial
module/driver.  For this purpose (if I remember well), the serial
module has to be installed first.

Unfortunately, lirc and serial do not coexist peacefully when
they have to handle *receiving* or *input* (TxD) data (because
of obvious IRQ conflicts), and then you need to keep killing one
or the other module/driver, depending on the situation...

Best,

Enrique.
