Speakup broken with kernel 3.4.x (ArchLinux users please read)

[John G. Heim]

Is the serial bug you're talking about the one where speakup couldn't
"steal" back the serial port so many serial synths couldn't be initialized?
It was in the file serialio.c.

I used to have my own patch for that and I have about 200 machines running a
custom kernel because of it. If that bug is fixed in the kernel source, it
is a big deal to me.

Well, I must admit that I hadn't actually tested Speakup since Alan's patch
stopped applying cleanly, but linux-3.7 was just released. It seems to have
all of Alan's patch, so, with luck, we're out of the woods.
