This is fine enough for the speakup mailing, but for actual submission
you will need a different text :)

Basically you'll have to give the overall rationale: again briefly
explain that speakup used to poke ports by hand, and this patchset
migrates it to using the proper TTY subsystem, and give the list of
patches with a couple of words to say which does what: add what's needed
in TTY, introduce methods to finish abstracting away serial port access
from drivers, addi a speakup line discipline, and migrate drivers to it.
