rename ttyopen() -> tty_open() and ttyclose() -> tty_close().
We need the ttyopen() and ttyclose() for the new generic cdevsw
functions for tty devices in order to have consistent naming.

does not reliably prevent the triggering of interrupts for all supported
configurations. Thus, the FIFO size probe could cause an interrupt,
which could lead to an interrupt storm in the shared interrupt case.
To prevent this, change ns8250_bus_probe() to use the overflow bit in
the line status register instead of the RX ready bit in the interrupt
identification register to detect whether the FIFO has filled up.
This allows us to clear all bits in the interrupt enable register during
the probe, which should prevent interrupts reliably.
Additionally, the detected FIFO size may be a bit more accurate, because
the overflow bit is only set when the FIFO did actually fill up, while
interrupts would trigger a bit early.

not as a pending interrupt status, but as a matter of status quo.
Consequently, when there's no data to be transmitted the condition
is not cleared and uart_intr() is stuck in an infinite loop trying
to clear the UART_IPEND_TXIDLE status.
The z8530_bus_ipend() function is changed to return idle only once
after having sent any data.
The root cause for this problem is that we cannot use the interrupt
status bits of the SCC itself. The register that holds the interrupt
status can only be accessed by channel A and holds the status for
both channels. Using the interrupt status register would complicate
the driver because we need to synchronize access to the SCC between
the channels.

"... uart_cpu_sparc64.c currently only looks at /options if ttyX is
the selected console. However, there's one case where it should
additionally look at /chosen. If "keyboard" is the selected input-
device and "screen" the output-device (both via /options) but the
keyboard is unplugged, OF automatically switches to ttya for the
console. It even prints a line telling so on "screen". Solaris
respects this behaviour and uses ttya as the console in this case
and people probably expect FreeBSD to do the same (it's also very
handy to temporarily switch consoles)..."

Does not doubt the correctness of the second change: marcel
to select a serial console and debug port (resp). On ia64 these replace
the use of hints completely and take precedence over hints on alpha,
amd64 and i386. On sparc64 these variables are not yet recognised.
The reasons for introducing these variables are:
1. Hints have side-effects. They reserve the unit number for use by
isa or acpi devices and therefore cannot be used to select a pci
device. Also, the use of a unit number to select a device prior
to bus enumeration is nonsense. The new variables have no side-
effects and are not based on unit numbers.
2. Hints don't have the expression power to allow the sysadmin to
select UARTs that are not legacy PC devices and need the support
of compile-time constants to give the sysadmin some level of
flexibility.
The hw.uart.console and hw.uart.dbgport variables specify a list of
attributes. An attribute is a tag-value pair, seperated by a colon.
Attributes are seperated by a comma. Where possible, tags are the
same as those in /etc/remote (only br and pa in practice). Details
can be found in the manpage (not part of this commit).

Introduce d_version field in struct cdevsw, this must always be
initialized to D_VERSION.
Flip sense of D_NOGIANT flag to D_NEEDGIANT, this involves removing
four D_NOGIANT flags and adding 145 D_NEEDGIANT flags.
Add missing D_TTY flags to various drivers.
Complete asserts that dev_t's passed to ttyread(), ttywrite(),
ttypoll() and ttykqwrite() have (d_flags & D_TTY) and a struct tty
pointer.
Make ttyread(), ttywrite(), ttypoll() and ttykqwrite() the default
cdevsw methods for D_TTY drivers and remove the explicit initializations
in various drivers cdevsw structures.

and the Z8530 drivers used the I/O address as a quick and dirty way to
determine which channel they operated on, but formalizing this by
introducing iobase is not a solution. How for example would a driver
know which channel it controls for a multi-channel UART that only has a
single I/O range?
Instead, add an explicit field, called chan, to struct uart_bas that
holds the channel within a device, or 0 otherwise. The chan field is
initialized both by the system device probing (i.e. a system console)
or it is passed down to uart_bus_probe() by any of the bus front-ends.
As such, it impacts all platforms and bus drivers and makes it a rather
large commit.
Remove the use of iobase in uart_cpu_eqres() for pc98. It is expected
that platforms have the capability to compare tag and handle pairs for
equality; as to determine whether two pairs access the same device or
not. The use of iobase for pc98 makes it impossible to formalize this
and turn it into a real newbus function later. This commit reverts
uart_cpu_eqres() for pc98 to an unimplemented function. It has to be
reimplemented using only the tag and handle fields in struct uart_bas.
Rewrite the SAB82532 and Z8530 drivers to use the chan field in struct
uart_bas. Remove the IS_CHANNEL_A and IS_CHANNEL_B macros. We don't
need to abstract anything anymore.

an UART interface could get stuck when a new interrupt condition
arose while servicing a previous interrupt. Since an interrupt was
already pending, no new interrupt would be triggered.
Avoid infinite recursion by flushing the Rx FIFO and marking an
overrun condition when we could not move the data from the Rx
FIFO to the receive buffer in toto. Failure to flush the Rx FIFO
would leave the Rx ready condition pending.
Note that the SAB 82532 already did this due to the nature of the
chip.
precisely where locking would be needed before adding it, but it
seems uart(4) draws slightly too much attention to have it without
locking for too long.
The lock added is a spinlock that protects access to the underlying
hardware. As a first and obvious stab at this, each method of the
hardware interface grabs the lock. Roughly speaking this serializes
the methods. Exceptions are the probe, attach and detach methods.
