serial port behaviour changed between 2.0 and 2.2

We are implementing a userspace driver to communicate with a serial
device. The device uses RTS/CTS and DTR/DSR to indicate whether it is
ready to communicate. In 2.0, the following code used to work, but in 2.2
the last ioctl() causes read() and write() to be buffered in 16 byte
blocks, which causes communication to fail.
We need to be able to read and set the modem control lines without
affecting buffered/non-buffered mode. How can we do this ?

   int portset;
   if(( fd = open("/dev/ttyS1",O_RDWR|O_NONBLOCK)) > 0)
      ioctl(fd,TIOCMGET,&portset);
      portset &=! TIOCM_DSR;
      portset &=! TIOCM_CTS;
      ioctl(fd,TIOCMSET,&portset);
   }
