Is this specific to 2.6.29.1? It looks like setting low_latency, as cdc-acm,
does for legacy reasons, is harmful now. Please remove these lines:


	/* force low_latency on so that our tty_push actually forces the data 
through,
	   otherwise it is scheduled, and with high data rates data can get lost. */
	tty->low_latency = 1;

	HTH
