Hi， Peter and all developers
     Yes， I need to describe it clearly. 
1、I want make the qemu serial support crtscts
2、Problem: the machine's guest is windows, the machine's host is centos.  The qemu emulation pci-serial.
A printer （model is BTP-2001cp）use the serial to print. The machine connect the printer by serial port.
The data printed by the printer is missing some data.You can see picture 1 is lost some data, picture 2  is normal.Because the printer need hardware flow control.
I modify /chardev/char-serial.c to support hardware flow control. Then the data printed by the printer is normal.
The CRTSCTS is (not in POSIX) Enable RTS/CTS (hardware) flow control.  
We can acquire some information by  "stty -F /dev/ttyS0 -a ". We can set the CRTSCTS by "stty -F /dev/ttyS0 crtscts"
3、I have some question
1) Does the qemu init all pci-serial port crtscts or raw? For example, I make the qemu configure with 4 pci-serial port.
 -chardev tty,id=charserial0,path=/dev/ttyS0,logfile=/dev/fdset/4,logappend=on -device pci-serial,chardev=charserial0,id=serial0,bus=pci.0,addr=0x17 -add-fd set=5,fd=28 -chardev tty,id=charserial1,path=/dev/ttyS1,logfile=/dev/fdset/5,logappend=on -device pci-serial,chardev=charserial1,id=serial1,bus=pci.0,addr=0x18 -add-fd set=6,fd=29 -chardev tty,id=charserial2,path=/dev/ttyS2,logfile=/dev/fdset/6,logappend=on -device pci-serial,chardev=charserial2,id=serial2,bus=pci.0,addr=0x19 -add-fd set=7,fd=30 -chardev tty,id=charserial3,path=/dev/ttyS3,logfile=/dev/fdset/7,logappend=on -device pci-serial,chardev=charserial3,id=serial3,bus=pci.0,addr=0x1a
2) if some printer not support (hardware) flow control, we make the qemu support (hardware) flow control, have some bad influence?
