Got an idea how far this can be ported back?

I'm being hampered by severe performance issues on a
beagleboneblack-like device (am335x) running on 3.18 kernel.

I have a 1Mbaud link that is getting packets of about 22 bytes @800 Hz
and old omap-serial is keeping up, but killing the CPU.

I'm considering backporting 8250_omap as a get out of jail.

Opinions appreciated.

Thanks.
