Actually, most usb serial drivers use usb_serial_generic_write as well
as usb_serial_generic_write_room. The generic implementations are used
unless drivers explicitly define their own. So far there has been no
need to export usb_serial_generic_write_room but perhaps Alon's patch
does require this.

Either way the patch description is thus actually wrong (or rather
misleading) as it stands.

I'll try to have a look at the other patch tomorrow.
