Previous version reviewed by:	bde

I seem to have missed the main point of this change.  I always use gdb
at 115200 bps on i386's (since I don't have anything faster), but
haven't used it recently.  Not working at a low speed like 115200 is
a bug somewhere.  The buffering by the low level console driver (none)
is not very suitable for input faster than a human can type, and gdb
certainly sends input faster than tha in bursts when it sends a packet,
but problems seem to be limited by the protocol being very simple.
