- Change the ddb(4) commands to be more useful (by thompsa@):
- `show ttys' is now called `show all ttys'. This command will now
also display the address where the TTY data structure resides.
- Add `show tty <addr>', which dumps the TTY in a readable form.
- Place an upper bound on the TTY buffer sizes. Some drivers do not want
to care about baud rates. Protect these drivers by preventing the TTY
buffers from getting enormous. Right now we'll just clamp it to 64K,
which is pretty high, taking into account that these buffers are only
used by the built-in discipline.
- Only call ttydev_leave() when needed. Back in April/May the TTY
reference counting mechanism was a little different, which required us
to call ttydev_leave() each time we finished a cdev operation.
Nowadays we only need to call ttydev_leave() when we really mark it as
being closed.
- Improve return codes of read() and write() on TTY device nodes.
- Make sure we really wake up all blocked threads when the driver calls
tty_rel_gone(). There were some possible code paths where we didn't
properly wake up any readers/writers.
- Add extra assertions to prevent sleeping on a TTY that has been
abandoned by the driver.
- Use ttydev_cdevsw as a more reliable method to figure out whether a
device node is a real TTY device node.

This was located in the ubsa driver, but should be moved into a separate
driver:
- 3G modems provide multiple serial ports to allow AT commands while the PPP
connection is up.
- 3G modems do not provide baud rate or other serial port settings.
- Huawei cards need specific initialisation.
- ubsa is for Belkin adapters, an Linuxy choice for another device like 3G.
Speeds achieved here with a weak signal at best is ~40kb/s (UMTS). No spooky
STALLED messages as well.
Next: Move over all entries for Sierra and Novatel cards once I have found
testers, and implemented serial port enumeration for Sierra (or rather have
Andrea Guzzo do it). They list all endpoints in 1 iface instead of 4 ifaces.

This changes from a line discipline to the tty_hooks mechanism. Data will come
in directly via rint_bypass and sent to the peer node in a single mbuf.
As line disciplines are no longer used a new netgraph command called
NGM_TTY_SET_TTY is used to attach the tty. This takes a pointer to to the open
file descriptor of the tty and registers the tty hooks. When the tty disappears
the node will shutdown.

- Document the minor(3), major(3) and makedev(3) macro's. They also
apply to umajor() and uminor() in the kernel, but hopefully we'll sort
that out one day.
- Briefly dev2unit() inside the make_dev(9) manual page, since this is
now the preferred macro to obtain character device unit numbers inside
the kernel.
- Remove the device_ids(9) manual page. It contains highly inaccurate
information, such as a description of the nonexistent major().
To prevent any further confusion about device minor and unit numbers,
we'd better just refer to device unit numbers. Many people still think
the numbers we show inside devfs have any relation to the numbers passed
to make_dev(9), which is not the case.

years by the priv_check(9) interface and just very few places are left.
Note that compatibility stub with older FreeBSD version
(all above the 8 limit though) are left in order to reduce diffs against
old versions. It is responsibility of the maintainers for any module, if
they think it is the case, to axe out such cases.
This patch breaks KPI so __FreeBSD_version will be bumped into a later
commit.
This patch needs to be credited 50-50 with rwatson@ as he found time to
explain me how the priv_check() works in detail and to review patches.
