Subject: Re: [RFC PATCH v2 4/4] tty/serial8250: Make use of IRQ_HANDLED_MANY

Perhaps I'm missing something here but I don't understand what this tries
to say.
- 8250 driver gets TX empty IRQ
- We write x bytes to FIFO
- UART blasts those bits to wire, eventually emptying FIFO
- We get the next TX empty IRQ
What in this makes "for every TX byte an IRQ is requested" true? There's
one IRQ only for every x bytes TX'ed as far as I can tell!?!
