FIFO_TRIGGER_14 is excessively optimistic.
That's why we *don't use it*. I quote, from the code itself:
if (sc->sc_hwflags & COM_HW_FIFO)
outb(iobase + com_fifo,
FIFO_ENABLE | FIFO_RCV_RST | FIFO_XMT_RST |
FIFO_TRIGGER_8);
FIFO_TRIGGER_14 is used only during the probe.
Now, one could argue that this should vary depending on the speed of the
serial link.
