Far simpler I think would be if we finally lost this old code and just did

	memset(&termios, 0, sizeof(struct termios));
	termios.c_cflag |= CREAD | HUPCL | CLOCAL;
	tty_termios_encode_baud_rate(&termios, baud, baud);


	if (bits == 7)
		..


and just removed the baud_rates table for good. The console drivers now
understand arbitrary rate requests and the core tty code has for years
supported doing the mapping for arbitrary baud rates as well as back
mapping them onto "classic" B9600 type encoding when possible.

That would also various devices with insane baud rates where someone was
too cheap to fit an extra crystal.
