[PATCH 6/9] UML - console locking commentary and code cleanup

From: Jeff Dike
Date: Fri Jan 05 2007 - 13:49:34 EST


Remove the last vestiges of devfs from console registration. Change
the name of the function, plus remove a couple of unused fields from
the line_driver structure.

struct lines is no longer needed, all traces of it are gone.

The only way that I can see to mark a structure as being almost-const
is to individually const the fields. This is the case for the
line_driver structure, which has only one modifiable field - a
list_head in a sub-structure.
