NAK

termios->c_ispeed/ospeed are the actual baud rates not bit encodings, and
are used for devices that support arbitary speeds

Use

	tty_termios_encode_baudrate(termios, ispeed, ospeed);

where ispeed/ospeed are actual input and output baud.

It does all the hard work and knows about

- keeping requests for traditional style B38400 type requests in their
  native form (so a request for 38400 that comes out at 38100 will still
  get encoded as B38400)
- Encoding arbitary rates using BOTHER
- Handling platforms that haven't been updated properly.


The patch you posted is a nonsense patch so if it helps it might be worth
looking harder as to why..
