    Then HPA may ask: but why do you want to run the serial console
    at 115200?? The answer is simple: because we can (or more
    precisely, because the HW can ;).

Actually... consider debugging PCI hardware on a large SMP box; you
get lots of kernel messages and even reboot is slowed by the volume
you see there.

There you want as fast a console as you can possibly have...
