Instead of rounding the divider down, improve the baud-rate

accuracy by rounding to the nearest integer.

is this fixing a bug or just making things better?

I guess it depends on your definition of bug :-) The problem has  
always been
present in the kernel sources, and people seem to have coped with it  
until
today. It is still a bug in my opinion, but I suppose the patch can  
wait until
2.6.29 especially if we want to get it tested (it slightly changes  
baud rates
after all).

Ok. I'll put this in the .29 queue.  Can you provide a bit more detail  
on the issue this is resolving.
