There is a (unlikely) possibility that this will cause a regression
in userspace (because this causes a successful read() to return when
it would not have in prior kernels).
I'd like to see this survive into 3.14-rc5+ before this goes to 3.12
& 3.13 -stable.
This will need multiple, different backports for pre-3.12 kernels,
which may not work correctly because pre-3.12 didn't lock out the input
processing worker during termios changes.

Peter Hurley
