Why don't we allocate the 2nd group of four as well, just at a  
new location.  They'll be discontinuous, but at least we'll have  
support for all 8.

Right, it means two tty driver structures, but that's not a problem.

Eh, I'm not crazy about that.  That means that I have to complicate  
my driver because someone else screwed up a long time ago.

If not you someone else.  The cost in the driver is small compared to  
fixing up all the distro's and such.  If you don't provide this  
change someone else will.
