Only if CRTSCTS is enabled, and then there are a lot of serial drivers
to fix.
However, RTS is not guaranteed to stop the remote end sending characters
as soon as it is deasserted - 16550 relies on software noticing that
CTS has changed, and even then it may have a FIFO full of characters
already queued to be sent that will still be sent.
So, disabling RTS just before changing the baud doesn't give any
guarantees that a character won't be in the process of being received
while we're changing the baud rate, which means disabling it doesn't
actually gain us anything.
