Well if it can do 10Mbit why not pass 10Mbit as the upper limit ?

After you've worked out what baud rate you actually set do

	       /* Don't rewrite B0 */
        if (tty_termios_baud_rate(termios))
                tty_termios_encode_baud_rate(termios, baud, baud);


which will ensure that the termios reflects the actual rate.
