/* this test program demonstrates the problem with Linux-3.10.12
* (I tested 3.10.2 also, had the problem too) 
* It shows the time between writing and signalling TX empty
* for standard serial port (/dev/ttyS0)  (8250)
*
*
* With older kernels (at least 3.5.0) it works as expected
*
* writing 26 chars at 1200 baud to the PORT  should take some 216 mS
* with the newer kernels it takes only 19mS
*
