With exclusive access mode, no further open() operations on the terminal are permitted, except for a process with root priviliges. Non-root processes will fail with EBUSY. This change will prevent other processes from accidentally messing up the communication. It also makes the behaviour similar to Windows, where serial ports are always opened with exclusive access.
