From a352def21a642133758b868c71bee12ab34ad5c5 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001

Subject: [PATCH] tty: Ldisc revamp

Move the line disciplines towards a conventional ->ops arrangement.  For
the moment the actual 'tty_ldisc' struct in the tty is kept as part of
the tty struct but this can then be changed if it turns out that when it
all settles down we want to refcount ldiscs separately to the tty.

Pull the ldisc code out of /proc and put it with our ldisc code.
