Hi, are there any plans to extend the serial port emulation in QEMU? Currently, it emulates a 16450 hardware, but most modern boards are 16550A compatible. The 16550A hardware gives better performance for serial applications (e.g. serial protocols), and I expect that it might do this in an emulation environment, too.
I found a port for 16550A emulation in an earlier contribution (http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2006-02/msg00004.html), but it obviously did not get much attention... When I tried this 16550A patch, it worked but surprisingly slowed down the serial output.
