The Microsoft Serial Port Console Redirection (SPCR) specification
revision 1.09 comprises additional field: Precise Baud Rate [1].
It is used to describe non-traditional baud rates (such as those
used by high-speed UARTs).
It contains a specific non-zero baud rate which overrides the value
of the Configured Baud Rate field. If this field is zero or not
present, Configured Baud Rate is used.
