Andy.

It looks as though there's a performance drop when enabling the DMA
here (v) stock PIO mode with the 8250 driver.

Test setup Galileo Gen1 transmitter - Galileo Gen2 receiver. TX/RX
cross-wired between the Arduino UART headers respectively (pins 0 & 1
on the "Digital PWM" header), GND pin14 similarly cross-wired.

User-space:
Receiver: Stock on-flash yocto-tiny kernel 3.8.7
Transmitter: Galileo Debian image :
https://sourceforge.net/projects/galileodebian/
3.8.7 kernel: On SPI-flash BSP kernel
