well, the difference between standards-compliant mux and the htc mux
seems to be that the standards-compliant mux is backwards compatible.

i.e. you can use the UART for AT commands until you issue AT+CMUX, after
which you have to attach the line discipline.

This fits nicely in the control flow model that I have thought about
with gsmd.

Now in the case of HTC (or IIRC even motorola EZX phone) mux, we'll need
to have a line discipline even before starting to talk to the modem.

So I guess, we cannot really do auto-detection :(

Something like a per-machine-plugin pre-init callback (before we send the init
strings) should take care of attaching the ldisc.

I hope, too.
