I'm using these to control the RTS output which in turn switches an
IrDA adapter into command or data mode. I can't upgrade to -current
as long as these ioctls are missing. I also have an UPS which can
communicate with a host using the RS port handshake signals. I can't
see any reason why these ioctls should not be implemented like they
were before.
