Title: Why does the (new) tty driver echo some characters in RAW mode?

	The documentation for the tty driver clearly states that no processing
is done in RAW mode. In real life, the driver echoes certain non-printing
characters such as ACK. It is necessary to explicitly disable ECHO when in
RAW to prevent this from happening. It is obvious from the driver source
listing that this is intentional. Can anyone tell me why?
