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.
it's in the way even more. Basicly: remove all alpha specific console
support from gfb(4), sio(4) and syscons(4). Rewrite the alpha console
initialization to be identical to all other platforms. In a nutshell:
call cninit().
The platform specific code now only sets or clears RB_SERIAL and thus
automaticly causes the right console to be selected.
sio.c:
o Replace the remote GDB hacks and use the GDB debug port interface
instead.
o Make debugging code conditional upon KDB instead of DDB.
o Call kdb_alt_break() instead of db_alt_break().
o Call kdb_enter() instead of breakpoint().
o Remove the ugly compatibility of using the console as the debug
port.

No current line disciplines have a dynamically changing hotchar, and
expecting to receive anything sensible during a change in ldisc is
insane so no locking of the hotchar field is necessary.

Use this function from all the relevant drivers.
I belive no drivers finger linesw[] directly anymore, paving the way for
locking and refcounting.
returns okay when HW probe fails. This happens when comconsole flag is
set but VGA console is used instead.
Back out requested by: bde (He will be looking at other solutions from scratch)
- Define option FORCECONSPEED to force the serial console to
be CONSPEED. I've run into a lot of boards in which
the detect for prior speed doesn't work and ends up with
broken console since it is at the wrong speed.
- If a serial port is marked as a console, but console=vidconsole
and if the serial ports doesn't exist it will be probed and
attached at a 8250 chip. Then writes to that will freeze the
system.
- Add an option flags 0x400000 to mark this as a potential
comconsole in-case the one flaged with 0x10 does not exist
in the system.
This makes it easier to deploy on systems with one or two serial ports.

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.
Free approx 86 major numbers with a mostly automatically generated patch.
A number of strategic drivers have been left behind by caution, and a few
because they still (ab)use their major number.
this problem put these lines back in. While they should be
unnecessary, they appear to be sometimes necessary.

with multiple ports on a shared interrupt demultiplexed by the puc_intr()
handler.
siointr1() first read as much input as possible and then checked all
possibly-relevant status registers, partly for robustness and partly
for historical reasons. This is very bad if it is called for every
port sharing an interrupt like puc_intr() does. It can spend too long
reading all the input for some ports when the interrupt is for a more
urgent event on another, or just too long checking all the status
registers when there are lots of ports. The inter-character time is
too long for reading all the input even when the interrupt is for a
transmitter interrupt on the same port, and at 921600 bps the inter-char
time is 10.85 usec and was often exceeded with just 2 ports, leaving
the transmitters idle for about 6% of the time.
The tweak is to break out of the read loop after reading 1 char if
output can be done. This avoids most of the idle transmitter time for
2 active ports at 921600 bps bidirectional on the test system. It
also reduces overhead by about 20%. More complete fixes use the
programmable tx low watermark on 16950's and reduce overhead by another
65%.

Changed this buffer from a circular one to a linear one. This is more
useful for some cases and the sysctl that prints it doesn't support
circular buffers.
Fixed (output) formatting bugs in this sysctl. An off by 1 error caused
a garbage byte to be returned after annotation of large deltas, and
a race with the writer sometimes caused premature string termination.

rev.1.218 of the i386/isa version (which was merged with loss of history
in rev.1.223 of this version).
- Removed conversion of a zero input speed to the output speed. This
has been done better in ttioctl() since rev.1.108 of kern/tty.c
almost 5 years ago. comparam() did the conversion incompletely for
the case where the output speed is also zero. It had complications
to avoid using zero speeds, but would still have used a zero input
speed for setting watermarks if kern/tty.c had passed one.
- Never permit the input speed to be different from the output speed.
There was no validity check on the input speed for the case of a zero
output speed. Then we didn't change the physical speeds, but we used
the unvalidated input speed for setting watermarks and didn't return
an error, so ttioctl() stored the unvalidated input speed in the tty
struct where it could cause problems later.
- Removed complications that were to avoid using a divisor of 0. The
divisor is now always valid if the speed is accepted.
in the loopback test in the probe. The delay was too short for consoles
at speeds lower than about 3200 bps. This shouldn't have caused many
problems, since such low speeds are rare and the probe is forced to
succeed for consoles.
