A probe to tell us what the serial console speed should be for a given piece of hardware. This pre-supposed some knowledge of the hardware because you define the speeds in here instead of attempting to probe bios or something in the hardware in most cases (like x86).

# figure out what serial speed we should tell bcfg2 to use.
# since there's no way to probe, we need to set this up by external
# knowledge of the system hardware type (and just make sure we
# standardize on that serial speed for that hardware class)
