The simple description of my issue is this: I'm using the serial port for
both a terminal and console. I run fdisk on a /dev/hda. Before this
patch I would get the prompt for fdisk immediately. After this patch I
have to hit return before the prompt is displayed.
I know that's not a lot of info, but just let me know what else you need
to help debug this.
I'm guessing something about the UARTs on the PowerPC maybe bit a little
non-standard.
I wonder if I've swapped one race for another. Can you revert just the
line which forces THRI on and test with the rest of the change please.
