VT_RELDISP ioctl call
This new VT mode (VT_PROCESS_AUTO) does everything that VT_PROCESS does
except that it doesn't wait for a VT_RELDISP ioctl before switching
away from a VT with that mode.
If the X server eventually uses this new mode, debugging and crash
recovery should become easier. This is because even when currently in
the VT of a frozen X server it would still be possible to switch out
by doing SysRq-r and then CTRL-<number of a text vt>, sshing in and
doing chvt <number of a text vt>, or any other method of VT switching.
The general concensus on #xorg-devel seems to be that it should be
safe to use this with X now that we have KMS.
This also moves the VT_ACKACQ define to a more appropriate place,
for clarity's sake.

We allocate during interrupts so while our buffering is normally diced up
small anyway on some hardware at speed we can pressure the VM excessively
for page pairs. We don't really need big buffers to be linear so don't try
so hard.
In order to make this work well we will tidy up excess callers to request_room,
which cannot itself enforce this break up.

This was noticed by Matthias Urlichs and he proposed a fix. This patch
does the fixing a different way to avoid introducing several new race
conditions into the code.
The problem case is TTY_DRIVER_RESET_TERMIOS = 0. In that case while we
abort the ldisc change, the hangup processing has not cleaned up and restarted
the ldisc either.
We can't restart the ldisc stuff in the set_ldisc as we don't know what
the hangup did and may touch stuff we shouldn't as we are no longer
supposed to influence the tty at that point in case it has been re-opened
before we get rescheduled.
Instead do it the simple way. Always re-init the ldisc on the hangup, but
use TTY_DRIVER_RESET_TERMIOS to indicate that we should force N_TTY.

The original author didn't realise the kernel lock was a drop while sleep
lock so did clever (and wrong) things to work around the non need to avoid
deadlocks. Remove the cleverness and the comment (as we don't hold the BKL

The Nozomi tty handling is very broken on the open/close side (See
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13024 for one example). In
particular it marks the tty as closed on the first close() not on the last.
Most of the logic is pretty solid except for the open/close path so switch
to the tty_port helpers and let them do all the heavy lifting. This is also
fixes all the POSIX behaviour violations in the open/close paths.
Begin by adding the tty port usage

Stanse found a potential null dereference in mgsl_put_char and
mgsl_write. There is a check for tty being NULL, but it is
dereferenced earlier.
Actually, tty cannot be NULL in .write and .put_char, so remove
the tests.

:
: cyclades: introduce cyy_readb/writeb
In fact the true branch which uses uninitialized 'info' can never
happen because chip is always less than ->nchips and channel is
always less than 4 which we alloc.
So behave similar to rx handling and remove the test completely.
I wonder why gcc 4.4.1 doesn't spit a word.

Fix transmit bug that could drop send data if write() called close to
serial transmitter going idle after sending previous data. Bug is caused
by incorrect use of device information member tx_count.
Driver originally processed one data block (write call) at a time, waiting
for transmit idle before sending more. tx_count recorded how much data
was loaded in DMA buffers on write(), and was cleared on send completion.
tx_count use was overloaded to record accumulated data from put_char()
callback when transmitter was idle.
A bug was introduced when transmit code was reworked to allow multiple
blocks of data in the tx DMA buffers which keeps transmitter from going
idle between blocks. tx_count was set to size of last block loaded,
cleared when tx went idle, and monitored to know when to restart
transmitter without proper synchronization. tx_count could be cleared
when unsent data remained in DMA buffers and transmitter required
restarting, effectively dropping unsent data.
Solution:
1. tx_count now used only to track accumulated data from put_char
2. DMA buffer state tracked by direct inspection of descriptors
with spinlock synchronization
3. consolidate these tasks in tx_load() :
a. check for available buffer space
b. load buffers
c. restart DMA and or serial transmitter as needed
These steps were previously duplicated in multiple places,
sometimes incompletely.
4. fix use of tx_count as active transmit indicator,
instead using tx_active which is meant for that purpose
