Am I correct in assuming that the latter was not intended as a desirable
change, but rather that it's collateral damage from the former?  It's
certainly an undesirable change on embedded platforms, where the BIOS can
be assumed to have set the port to a value consistent with the line (or
else the BIOS's messages wouldn't work).  Not to mention 9600's being
rather dated in this day and age, where 115200 is the common speed of
choice for serial consoles. :-)
