So now that I actually look at it. If I read this right, we never send
the x_char if the TX-DMA never fails to do its job. The comment above
uart_send_xchar() says it is high priority. What do you suggest, wait
until the transfer completes, send the x_char _or_ pause the transfer
send that byte and then send the byte?
In both cases we have to wait until for the FIFO-empty interrupt to
make sure we don't overrun that TX-FIFO.

I *think* waiting until the transfer completes would be simpler but it
is not necessarily high priority.
