+ * ---------------------------
+ * After receiving a interrupt, it is important to indicate to the UART that
+ * this has been done. 
+ * For a Rx interrupt, this is done by reading the received byte.
+ * For a Tx interrupt this is done by either:
+ * a) Writing a byte
+ * b) Reading the IIR
+ * It is particularly important to read the IIR if a Tx interrupt is received
+ * when there is no data in tx_buff[], as in this case there no other
+ * indication that the interrupt has been serviced, and it remains outstanding
+ * indefinitely. This has the curious side effect that and no further interrupts
+ * will be generated from this device AT ALL!!.
+ * It is also desirable to clear outstanding interrupts when the device is
+ * opened/closed.
+ *
+ *
+ * Note that some devices need OUT2 to be set before they will generate
+ * interrupts at all. (Possibly tied to an internal pull-up on CTS?)
