-uart_get_baud_rate(port,termios)
+uart_get_baud_rate(port,termios,old,min,max)
 	Return the numeric baud rate for the specified termios, taking
 	account of the special 38400 baud "kludge".  The B0 baud rate
 	is mapped to 9600 baud.
 
+	If the baud rate is not within min..max, then if old is non-NULL,
+	the original baud rate will be tried.  If that exceeds the
+	min..max constraint, 9600 baud will be returned.  termios will
+	be updated to the baud rate in use.
+
+	Note: min..max must always allow 9600 baud to be selected.

 	Locking: caller dependent.

-uart_get_divisor(port,termios,oldtermios)
-	Return the divsor (baud_base / baud) for the selected baud rate
-	specified by termios.  If the baud rate is out of range, try
-	the original baud rate specified by oldtermios (if non-NULL).
-	If that fails, try 9600 baud.
+uart_get_divisor(port,baud)
+	Return the divsor (baud_base / baud) for the specified baud
+	rate, appropriately rounded.
 
 	If 38400 baud and custom divisor is selected, return the
 	custom divisor instead.
