Today, all possible serial lines (ssl*=) as well as all
possible consoles (con*=) each share a single interrupt
(with a fixed number) with others of the same type.
Now, if you have two lines, say ssl0 and ssl1, and one
of them is connected to an fd you cannot read (e.g. a
file), but the other gets a read interrupt, then both
of them get the interrupt since it's shared. Then, the
read() call will return EOF, since it's a file being
written and there's nothing to read (at least not at
the current offset, at the end).
Unfortunately, this is treated as a read error, and we
close this line, losing all the possible output.
It might be possible to work around this and make the
IRQ sharing work, however, now that we have dynamically
allocated IRQs that are easy to use, simply use that to
achieve separating between the events; then there's no
interrupt for that line and we never attempt the read
in the first place, thus not closing the line.
This manifested itself in the wifi hostap/hwsim tests
where the parallel script communicates via one serial
console and the kernel messages go to another (a file)
and sending data on the communication console caused
the kernel messages to stop flowing into the file.

Ignore linux kernel's console= option at uml's console
option handler. Since uml's con= option is only for
setting up new console, and Linux kernel's console=
option specify to which console kernel output its
message, we can use both option for different purpose.

As we setup the SIGWINCH handler in tty_port_operations->activate
it makes sense to tear down it in ->destruct.

Current code doesn't update the symlinks in /sys/dev/char when we add/remove
tty lines. Fixing that allows to stop messing with ->valid before the driver
registration, which is a Good Thing(tm) - we shouldn't have it set before we
really have the things set up and ready for line_open().
We need tty_driver available to call tty_{un,}register_device(), so we just
stash a reference to it into struct line_driver.

If two processes are opening the same line, the second to get
into line_open() will decide that it doesn't need to do anything
(correctly) or wait for anything. The latter, unfortunately,
is incorrect - the first opener might not be through yet. We
need to have exclusion covering the entire line_init(), including
the blocking parts. Moreover, the next patch will need to
widen the exclusion on mconsole side of things, also including
the blocking bits, so let's just convert that sucker to mutex...

Tidy kern_util.h. It turns out that most of the function declarations
aren't used, so they can go away. os.h no longer includes
kern_util.h, so files which got it through os.h now need to include it
directly. A number of other files never needed it, so these includes
are deleted.
The structure which was used to pass signal handlers from the kernel
side to the userspace side is gone. Instead, the handlers are
declared here, and used directly from libc code. This allows
arch/um/os-Linux/trap.c to be deleted, with its remnants being moved
to arch/um/os-Linux/skas/trap.c.
arch/um/os-Linux/tty.c had its inclusions changed, and it needed some
style attention, so it got tidied.

If the host side of a console can't be opened, this will now produce visible
error messages.
enable_chan now returns a status and this is passed up to con_open and
ssl_open, which will complain if anything went wrong.
The default host device for the serial line driver is now a pts device rather
than a pty device since lots of hosts have LEGACY_PTYS disabled. This had
always been failing on such hosts, but silently.

Major tidying of the xterm console driver:
got rid of the tt-mode gdb support
tidied up the includes
fixed lots of style violations
replaced os_* calls with glibc calls in xterm.c
all printk calls now have a severity indicator
the error paths of xterm_open are closer to being right

Since both UML consoles do not use percpu variables, they may be called when
the cpu is still offline, and they may be marked CON_ANYTIME (this is
documented in kernel/printk.c, grep for CON_ANYTIME to find mentions of this).
Works well in testing done with lock debug enabled, should be safe but is not
needed for next release.
This would probably help also stderr_console.c, but this is yet to test.

Remove the last vestiges of devfs from console registration. Change the name
of the function, plus remove a couple of unused fields from the line_driver
structure.
struct lines is no longer needed, all traces of it are gone.
The only way that I can see to mark a structure as being almost-const is to
individually const the fields. This is the case for the line_driver
structure, which has only one modifiable field - a list_head in a
sub-structure.
