serial.sys support for m;ultiport UART, each with 16550 interface?

No, you won’t be able to get the in box serial driver to load. The ability to
hand hardware resources (ports, interrupts, etc) to child device stacks is
called resource arbitration. How to do resource arbitration is not documented,
so only in box msft drivers can do it (pci, mf, acpi.sys primarily).

Any chance of adding such a (resource arbitration) mechanism to the next KMDF release?

Not really. It’s not a common enough case to warrant the cost of adding it into the Frameworks. And there are quite workable solutions.
