- * tmp_buf is used as a temporary buffer by mgsl_write. We need to

- * and some other program tries to do a serial write at the same time.
- * Since the lock will only come under contention when the system is
- * swapping and available memory is low, it makes sense to share one
- * buffer across all the serial ioports, since it significantly saves
- * memory if large numbers of serial ports are open.
