FreeBSD, NetBSD, and Linux all bumped their serial bit rates to support 500k(+500k)4000k, extending the rates to 3500k and 4000k, dropping 128k and 256k, renumbering the extended baud rate indices under Linux, effectively changing the ABI for any previously compiled serial application.

Is this acceptable, not really any issue for Cygwin, or an issue, and some compatibility code would be required to do an internal upgrade, and return an error for unsupported speeds, or should we add another bit to extend CBAUD/CBAUDEX to 0x0101f, and use higher indices 0x01010/0x01011?
