Your Bios IO / raw tty write / pipe speedup patches are actually a great deal!

1) Serial IO is much faster now, data comes in small hunks.
2) IO to the console is pretty fast. Even with fasttext or vcon
   scrolling upwards is substantially faster.
3) Pty/pipe througput is much higher. Try "rlogin localhost;
   cat /usr/man/cat1/perl.1" with and without the patch and
   you get the difference!

Thanks,
Kay.
