[Qemu-devel] [PATCH][RESEND] Serial: DOS Plus regression

[Roy Tam]

The commit in r1049 (serial interrupt fix (Hampa Hug)) prevents
booting Digital Research DOSPlus. Following patch partially reverts
that commit and makes DOSPlus booting in QEMU again.

I guess that this patch has been introduced to fix an issue. Are you
sure your partial revert is correct and is not going to create a 
regression? What the documentation says?

In other words, I can't find other implementations (such as Bochs)
checks LSR_THRE in IER. And the log message in r1049 doesn't say any
regressions too. As a result I assume checking LSR_THRE in IER in
r1049 is wrong implementation. Partial reverting r1049 are tested and
no regression created(tested with DOS/Windows/*nix guests, if they
work correctly before applying this patch).
