Yeah, that's what I was in the process of writing just now.
BTW, I did see your note about the I_PARMRK computation being
overly conservative; I'll address that in a separate patch
on top of this.

Those are all either consumer-side or exclusive, ie., when both
producer and consumer are prevented from running by the termios_rwsem
write lock (eg., n_tty_set_termios()).
