serial: enable higher baud rates for 16c95x

serial: enable higher baud rates for 16c95x

[Dave Jones]

This patch has been around (and in Fedora) for 4 years.

Previous discussion around this patch:
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-kernel&m=112687270832687&w=2
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=126403
http://lkml.org/lkml/2006/8/2/208

The objection seemed to be summarised as "it might break something else".
In the four years it's been in Fedora, I don't recall seeing a single
serial bug report that was related.
