Don't you get an end of DMA TX interrupt?

I don't think so. There are some BSP hooks for various features and
default number
of termios ports. But nothing specific to an object.

I suppose one could be added but for orthogonality, it would make me wonder
why we wouldn't also let you add a BSP factor on every Classic API object.
Just thinking out load.
