Well the driver certainly never uses that value.  I guess setserial can
poke at it, but it won't do anything with it.

I wonder how I should go about trying to figure out why the driver acts
so strangely with this particular input pattern.

It seems it can't be the tty layer, since other serial drivers seem to
work fine.  It has to be the jsm.
