Some might want to use this in a way that the created virtual device
is not closed when /dev/vtpmx is closed.
I don't see that happening. If you want the device pair to stay around after
an application terminates, you have to pass the file descriptor returned
from the ioctl to an application.
Right, so it is. So the device pair dissappears either by closing the
returned fd (by the ioctl) or when application terminates. No extra
ioctls would be needed.
