c65c9bc3ef tty: rewrite the ldisc locking
There are several pretty much unfixable races in the old ldisc code, especially
with respect to pty behaviour and also to hangup. It's easier to rewrite the
code than simply try and patch it up.

This patch
- splits the ldisc from the tty (so we will be able to refcount it more cleanly
  later)
- introduces a mutex lock for ldisc changing on an active device
- fixes the complete mess that hangup caused
- implements hopefully correct setldisc/close/hangup locking

There are still some problems around pty pairs that have always been there but
at least it is now possible to understand the code and fix further problems.

This fixes the following known bugs
- hang up can leak ldisc references
- hang up may not call open/close on ldisc in a matched way
- pty/tty pairs can deadlock during an ldisc change
- reading the ldisc proc files can cause every ldisc to be loaded

and probably a few other of the mysterious ldisc race reports.

I'm sure it also adds the odd new one.

a352def21a tty: Ldisc revamp
Move the line disciplines towards a conventional ->ops arrangement.  For
the moment the actual 'tty_ldisc' struct in the tty is kept as part of
the tty struct but this can then be changed if it turns out that when it
all settles down we want to refcount ldiscs separately to the tty.

Pull the ldisc code out of /proc and put it with our ldisc code.

cf1c63c3e6 Char: ip2, macros cleanup
- remove i2os.h -- there was only macro to macro renaming or useless
  stuff
- remove another uselless stuf (NULLFUNC, NULLPTR, YES, NO)
- use outb/inb directly
- use locking functions directly
- don't define another ROUNDUP, use roundup(x, 2) instead
- some comments and whitespace cleanup
- remove some commented crap
- prepend the rest by I2 prefix to not collide with rest of the world
  like in following output (pointed out by akpm)

5fc7e655a5 Fix bogus 'inline' in drivers/char/ip2/i2lib.c
Not only was the function way too big to be inlined in the first place,
it was used before it was even defined.

40565f1962 [PATCH] Char: timers cleanup
- Use timer macros to set function and data members and to modify
  expiration time.
- Use DEFINE_TIMER for global timers and do not init them at run-time in
  these cases.
- del_timer_sync is common in most cases -- we want to wait for timer
  function if it's still running.

1da177e4c3 Linux-2.6.12-rc2
Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.

Let it rip!
