 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.
