             Bug #: 2185
           Summary: Enhance rtems_termios_puts to write more than one char
                    at once

Patch for termios.c as described

The rtems_termios_puts(), as is, calls (*tty->handler.write)() once per char. 

To minimize overhead e.g. with DMA setup in driver, it could send more at once. 

The attached patch implements a quite simple loop for copying more than one
char before calling (*tty->handler.write)().

Note that it does *not* enable interrupts while copying as suggested by the
comment in the original source code. 

The amount of chars copied however is guaranteed to be less than rawOutBuf
size.
