googling for CDTRDSR is useful.  I see from
http://lkml.org/lkml/2006/12/10/49 that Russell was generally supportive,
but requested changes which afaict you have implemented here?

This will break all architectures except for i386.  So for now I guess we
can do this: 

--- a/include/linux/termios.h~serial-8250-implement-dtr-dsr-handshaking-fix
+++ a/include/linux/termios.h
@@ -4,4 +4,8 @@
 #include <linux/types.h>
 #include <asm/termios.h>
 
+#ifndef CDTRDSR
+#define CDTRDSR 0 /* remove this when all architectures have a definition */
+#endif
+
 #endif
_

but that's temporary.  If we decide to proceed with this change then we
should add CDTRDSR to each arch's termbits.h.  That'll be pretty
straightforward to arrange.

Actually, let's spam them ...
