After a lengthy discussion that happened on IRC (#armlinux), Uwe
proved me wrong. This should actually be


                /*
                 * Calculate the Error in the time domain:
                 * Error = (RealBaudPeriod - ExpectedBaudPeriod) /
                 *         ExpectedBaudPeriod;
                 *
                 * which after conversion to the frequency domain gives:
                 * Error = 1 - (ExpectedBaudRate/RealBaudRate);
                 *
                 * and since we want to compare 2 errors and avoid
                 * approximation, we have:
                 *
                 * if (RealBaudRate2 * (RealBaudRate1 - ExpectedBaudRate) <
                 *     RealBaudRate1 * (RealBaudRate2 - ExpectedBaudRate))
                 *      ...
                 * 
                 */
                if (alt_baud * abs(best_baud - baud) >
                    best_baud * abs(alt_baud - baud))

Thanks for your patience ;-).
