No, my netbook has nothing at the corresponding ports or interrupt
vectors.
But to expand on your point, few have the special hardware to connect a
serial console, so this shold be off unless someone has the knowledge to
turn it on

Title:
grub2 always adds "memtest86 serial console" even when no serial port
Status in “memtest86+” package in Ubuntu:
Triaged
Status in Baltix GNU/Linux:

Bug description:
Binary package hint: grub2
I have a laptop that does not and will never have an ordinary serial
port.
Yet grub2 insists on adding the memory test for serial console that
WILL NEVER WORK!.
There appears to be no way to disable this.
For some reason nodes are created in /dev for ttyS0 through ttyS3, but
there is no underlying device. stty will return error, as will "cat".
They are like a hanging symlink.
