An important other property we now have is that the tty mutex does now cover
the drivers array. An assumption other bits of the code made and which is
necessary for the tty lock patch.

Hi, Alan

This one cause regression on my test setup.

that setup is booting from pxe and initrd is updated from opensuse
11.3 rescue disk.

kernel has command line 115200, and later serial console will use
115200 automatically.

but with this one, serial console will switch back to 9600 instead.

    tty: Move the handling of the tty release logic

    Now that we don't have tty->termios tied to drivers->tty we can untangle
    the logic here. In addition we can push the removal logic out of the
    destructor path.

    At that point we can think about sorting out tty_port and console and all
    the other ugly hangovers.
