With a few arcane exceptions, all Unix sio drivers are interrupt driven.
The problem with hish speed serial input is that other parts of the
operating system have sections of "critical code".  The usual practice
in "critical code" is to disable interrupts while the kernel is
"dropping its pants".  It takes quite a bit of kernel hacking to keep
these ciritical code segments short.
