Why?

I don't think you've ever seen the source to any of the
serial-XDDs, I don't even think you know what they do.
Because this is pure BS.

Again: ->If you use the XDD<- (and who wouldn't, as I recall
you where one of those that cried loudest and demanded a
MiNT-friendly replacement for HS-Modem) then the kernel has
absolutely nothing to do with baudrates, handshake or any
other hardware-related stuff. This is what the XDD do. Take
a look at the source for e.g. scc.xdd, and you'll see for
yourself.

If you *don't* use the XDD the kernel must be patched, but
why spend valuable time on something like that?
