I guess so. (But flow control can be hard for bluetooth, I guess. Data
are coming from the air...)

hciattach seems to do this:

...
open("/dev/ttyBT", O_RDWR|O_NOCTTY)     = 3
ioctl(3, TCFLSH, 0x2)                   = 0
ioctl(3, SNDCTL_TMR_TIMEBASE or TCGETS, {B115200 -opost -isig -icanon -echo ...}) = 0
ioctl(3, SNDCTL_TMR_TIMEBASE or TCGETS, {B115200 -opost -isig -icanon -echo ...}) = 0
ioctl(3, SNDCTL_TMR_START or TCSETS, {B115200 -opost -isig -icanon -echo ...}) = 0
ioctl(3, SNDCTL_TMR_TIMEBASE or TCGETS, {B115200 -opost -isig -icanon -echo ...}) = 0
ioctl(3, SNDCTL_TMR_TIMEBASE or TCGETS, {B115200 -opost -isig -icanon -echo ...}) = 0
ioctl(3, SNDCTL_TMR_START or TCSETS, {B921600 -opost -isig -icanon -echo ...}) = 0

...set 921K using TCSETS/B921600... and kernel says ok, but ...

ioctl(3, SNDCTL_TMR_TIMEBASE or TCGETS, {B115200 -opost -isig -icanon -echo ...}) = 0
ioctl(3, TCFLSH, 0x2)                   = 0
ioctl(3, SNDCTL_TMR_TIMEBASE or TCGETS, {B115200 -opost -isig -icanon -echo ...}) = 0

...we are still at 115200... I wonder if 921600 is the right speed to
use after all? Any other speeds I should try? (and can 400MHz arm
handle 921K on serial line?)

...when I was setting 921600 baud_base, I basically broke it so that
it used 115200, right? I guess I should play a bit more...
