[PATCH 00/25] TTY buffer in tty_port -- prep no. 3

[Jiri Slaby]

Hi,

this is the third series of patches which allow tty buffers to be
moved from tty_struct (present from open to close/hangup) to tty_port
(present as long as the device). This will allow us to get rid of the
tty refcounting in the interrupt service routines and other hot paths
after we are done. This is because we won't need to handle races among
ISRs, timers, hangups and others, because tty_port lives as long as an
interrupt/timer tick may occur. Unlike tty_struct.

In this series, the third batch of drivers is converted to use
tty_port.  Read: all drivers now have a tty_port. Second, we start
assigning tty_port to tty_struct->port in this series. So the TTY
layer now finally has an access to a tty_port in most of the drivers.
This means not every driver uses the new shiny interfaces creating
tty_struct => tty_port links automatically. I ran out of time (I had
to do other things) to convert them all... The rest is going to be
converted later.

Standard x86 stuff was runtime-tested. The rest is only checked to be
compilation-errors free.
