Yep, it has been useful in the distant past when debugging the kernel at
a very low level to be able to "pause" the kernel, or to guarantee that
we grab all messages (using hardware flow control). However, I suspect
we don't actually need that facility anymore.

I suspect on most platforms, the messages generally fit within the
FIFO at the rate we poke the characters in vs the rate they appear
on the serial line.
