improvements:
(1) Implement new model in previously missed at91 UART driver
(2) Move BREAK_TO_DEBUGGER and ALT_BREAK_TO_DEBUGGER from opt_comconsole.h
to opt_kdb.h (spotted by np)
(3) Garbage collect now-unused opt_comconsole.h

accessible:
(1) Always compile in support for breaking into the debugger if options
KDB is present in the kernel.
(2) Disable both by default, but allow them to be enabled via tunables
and sysctls debug.kdb.break_to_debugger and
debug.kdb.alt_break_to_debugger.
(3) options BREAK_TO_DEBUGGER and options ALT_BREAK_TO_DEBUGGER continue
to behave as before -- only now instead of compiling in
break-to-debugger support, they change the default values of the
above sysctls to enable those features by default. Current kernel
configurations should, therefore, continue to behave as expected.
(4) Migrate alternative break-to-debugger state machine logic out of
individual device drivers into centralised KDB code. This has a
number of upsides, but also one downside: it's now tricky to release
sio spin locks when entering the debugger, so we don't. However,
similar logic does not exist in other device drivers, including uart.
(5) dcons requires some special handling; unlike other console types, it
allows overriding KDB's own debugger selection, so we need a new
interface to KDB to allow that to work.
GENERIC kernels in -CURRENT will now support break-to-debugger as long as
appropriate boot/run-time options are set, which should improve the
debuggability of BETA kernels significantly.

the intention of having two ttys pointing to the same cfe console device was.
Also we were not initializing the output[] array passed in as input to
tty_makedev() so one name of the ttys was garbage.
Fix the code that calls cfe_write() to deal with the case where only a partial
buffer is written out.
cfe_cngetc() needs to return if there is no character available as input.
If we don't do this then the cfe_timeout() function will spin forever
because cfe_cngetc() will only ever return if there is valid input.

I don't want people to override the mutex when allocating a TTY. It has
to be there, to keep drivers like syscons happy. So I'm creating a
tty_alloc_mutex() which can be used in those cases. tty_alloc_mutex()
should eventually be removed.
The advantage of this approach, is that we can just remove a function,
without breaking the regular API in the future.
The cn_unit and cn_tp fields don't seem to be used anywhere. Some
drivers set them, while others don't. Just remove them, in an attempt to
make our consdev code a little easier to understand.
former more explicitly tells the compiler that you want an empty loop.
There are some lint programs that use this hint to avoid generating
warnings.
No functional change...
