If I am reading the code correctly, it does not need anything other than Tx/Rx/Ground (ser_open() sets CLOCAL, which ignores modem control lines). So that cable should work.

The loopback connections would be for the modem control lines (hardware handshaking, which your UPS probably does not do). Other than that, I think the DB-9 pinout is the same.

nutdrv_qx would be best, but blazer_ser is the next newest driver.
