Beware that something has to set the speed, but nothing else may be
doing it.
I certainly discovered (and fixed) the i386 port which only set one
of the input and output baud rates to that passed by the bootloader.
The i386 /boot program also treats a baud rate of 0 to mean 'read the
divisor registers' - which it then passes to the kernel.
Maybe hpcsh could do something similar.
