tty flip buffers use GFP_ATOMIC allocations for received data
which is to be processed by the line discipline. For each byte
received, an extra byte is used to indicate the error status of
that byte.

Instead, if the received data is error-free, encode the entire
buffer without status bytes.

Why are you exporting this?  There is no function prototype anywhere, so
no one can even try to call it, it should just be static, right?

Yes, sorry. Thanks for catching this.

I've applied the first 4 patches in this series, care to fix this one
up?

Patch coming.
