You can create a tty_struct kernel side with the two tiny changes I posted before.

Termios and termios_locked for example could live in the tty_port as the physical tty is incapable of having multiple sets of terminal data at once. Really though this looks to me like *MASSIVE* churn for now purpose. Create a tty_struct kernel side, and use that, the needed patch is then tiny. so IMHO NAK Alan
