As many other people wanted this feature (I can forward you the mails), it would be far better, if it becomes part of the stock kernel.

Hehe, I was wrong about using procfs for the driver in my previous answer: Entering the bitbang mode should be done per application (like setting RTS/CTS) and not at a global level. Imagine it like another "handshaking" mode. After activation, the data is still written char-by-char to the tty.
