Well, I'm not saying there's definitely no kernel bug, but I can't see
how the patch should cause it.  It may be triggering a latent bug
somewhere else in the driver than hasn't been biting us before, however.

!CREAD is the most obvious cause, so that should definitely be ruled
out first.  If CREAD is clear, we need to figure out why...
