The Linux serial driver is an abomination in itself (the only saving grace is 
that it's largely compatible back to the days of the ASR33 teletype machine). 
IMO, if performance is the goal, we need to consider a custom high-speed serial 
driver for the UART connected to the GSM, one that gets rid of the overhead of 
the entire tty layer in the kernel.
