Providing you emulate the fifo itself the guest has no idea how many bits
are leaving the fifo and at what rate in normal use. However you need to
be a bit cleverer to handle fifo sizing.
More generically there are a wide range of 8250 derived UART devices with
larger FIFOs if probed. The extra logic to emulate those isn't that much
and will take you to 64byte FIFO trivally enough and in a way that should
work with random guests.
