I agree, didn't look closely enough.  Well, if the kernel says "don't use
setserial", then don't do it, neh?

What might trigger this message is the fact that mgetty *queries* the
state of the SPD_* flags -- and mgetty will also log a warning if the 
port is set to 115200/57600 with setserial.  

Ted, without looking at the source, could querying the "setserial" state
cause the above warning?
