Thanks greatly for this patch, Yuri.  Doubtless it can do with
cleaning up, but it did the trick for me (running on an Iwill P55XB2
board).

At Mike Smith's request, I've put the patch up at
http://www.lemis.com/serial-port-patch.html.  As I mention there, if
anybody else takes the patch, please inform Yuri of the results.
