Either by not setting ->low_latency or by running the data paths from a
non IRQ context.

Basically: don't set tty->low_latency if you are handling the processing
from the IRQ path. The only case low_latency is useful is handling data
from a non-IRQ path where you have latency concerns for tx/rx switching.
