The work required to fix up the existing FIR hacks is not insignifcant
either. Also right now the tty layer is getting a major rework so now is
actually the time to sort out anything extra that is needed.

If you want 4MBit please just use an ldisc and do

	struct ktermios tmp;
	mutex_lock(&tty->termios_mutex);
	tmp = *tty->termios;
	tty_encode_baud_rate(tty, 4000000, 4000000);
	tty->driver->set_termios(tty, &tmp);
	mutex_unlock(&tty->termios_mutex);
