8440838bc5 serial: fix device name reporting when minor space is shared between drivers
The multiple drivers share the minor space occupied by a particular major
number, the actual index within the device name's space is indicated by
the tty_driver->name_base + uart_port->line

Another usable formula is (uart_driver->minor - MINOR_BASE) + port->line

Use this inode in pty_kill() to identify the devpts instance. Since
we now have the inode for the pty, we can skip get_node() lookup and
remove the unused get_node().

feebed6515 tty: shutdown method
Right now there are various drivers that try to use tty->count to know when
they get the final close. Aristeau Rozanski showed while debugging the vt
sysfs race that this isn't entirely safe.

Instead of driver side tricks to work around this introduce a shutdown which
is called when the tty is being destructed. This also means that the shutdown
method is tied into the refcounting.

Use this to rework the console close/sysfs logic.

Remove lots of special case code from the tty core code. The pty code can now
have a shutdown() method that replaces the special case hackery in the tree
free up paths.

wants to emulate as Windows supports them.

TCGETX/TCSETX and the termiox ioctl are a SYS5 extension that we might as
well adopt. This patches adds the structures and the basic ioctl interfaces
when the TCGETX etc defines are added for an architecture. Drivers wishing
to use this stuff need to add new methods.

5aaa70a80f tty: ipw need reworking
This came in via another tree and unfortunately is rather broken on
the tty side. Comment the apparent locking problems for someone who knows
the driver to look at.

Fix the termios and other ioctl handling. The driver was calling the wrong
methods for what it wanted to do but the right ones existed so its a simple
fix up.

c26c56c0f4 tty: Cris has a nice RS485 ioctl so we should steal it
JP Tosoni observed:

"About a RS485 ioctl: could you consider the attached files which are
 already in the Linux kernel (in include/asm-cris).  They define a
 TIOCSERSETRS485 (ioctl.h), and the data structure (rs485.h)
 with allows to specify timings. Sounds just like what we want ?"

and he's right: sort of. Rework the structure to use flag bits and make the
time delay a fixed sized field so we don't get 32/64bit problems. Add the ioctls
to x86 so that people know what to add to their platform of choice.

6f967f7891 tty: use krefs to protect driver module counts
The tty layer keeps driver module counts that are used so the driver knows
when it can be unloaded. For obvious reasons we want to tie that to the
refcounting properly.

At this point the driver side itself isn't refcounted nicely but we can do
that later and kref the drivers.

9c9f4ded90 tty: Add a kref count
Introduce a kref to the tty structure and use it to protect the tty->signal
tty references. For now we don't introduce it for anything else.
