+/* Host Virtual Serial Interface (HVSI) is a protocol between the hosted OS
+ * and the service processor on IBM pSeries servers. On these servers, there
+ * are no serial ports under the OS's control, and sometimes there is no other
+ * console available either. However, the service processor has two standard
+ * serial ports, so this over-complicated protocol allows the OS to control
+ * those ports by proxy.
+ *
+ * Besides data, the procotol supports the reading/writing of the serial
+ * port's DTR line, and the reading of the CD line. This is to allow the OS to
+ * control a modem attached to the service processor's serial port. Note that
+ * the OS cannot change the speed of the port through this protocol.
