The pdc_cons.c code is always built in.  It will never be modular,
so using module_init as an alias for __initcall is rather
misleading.

Fix this up now, so that we can relocate module_init from
init.h into module.h in the future.  If we don't do this, we'd
have to add module.h to obviously non-modular code, and that
would be a worse thing.

Direct use of __initcall is discouraged, vs prioritized ones.
Use of device_initcall is consistent with what __initcall
maps onto, and hence does not change the init order, making the
impact of this change zero.   Should someone with real hardware
for boot testing want to change it later to arch_initcall or
something different, they can do that at a later date.

Now, we start converting tty buffer functions to actually use
tty_port. This will allow us to get rid of the need of tty in many
call sites. Only tty_port will needed and hence no more
tty_port_tty_get in those paths.

Now, the one where most of tty_port_tty_get gets removed:
tty_flip_buffer_push.

IOW we also closed all the races in drivers not using tty_port_tty_get
at all yet.

Also we move tty_flip_buffer_push declaration from include/linux/tty.h
to include/linux/tty_flip.h to all others while we are changing it
anyway.

<title>TTY: call tty_port_destroy in the rest of drivers</title>

After commit "TTY: move tty buffers to tty_port", the tty buffers are
not freed in some drivers. This is because tty_port_destructor is not
called whenever a tty_port is freed. This was an assumption I counted
with but was unfortunately untrue. So fix the drivers to fulfil this
assumption.

To be sure, the TTY buffers (and later some stuff) are gone along with
the tty_port, we have to call tty_port_destroy at tear-down places.
This is mostly where the structure containing a tty_port is freed.
This patch does exactly that -- put tty_port_destroy at those places.

So now for those drivers that can use neither tty_port_install nor
tty_port_register_driver but still have tty_port available before
tty_register_driver we use newly added tty_port_link_device.

The rest of the drivers that still do not provide tty_struct &lt;-&gt;
tty_port link will have to be converted to implement
tty-&gt;ops-&gt;install.

This was defined in asm/pdc.h which needs to include asm/page.h for
__PAGE_OFFSET. This leads to an include loop so that page.h eventually will
include pdc.h again. While this is no problem because of header guards, it is
a problem because some symbols may be undefined. Such an error is this:

The test in pdc_console_tty_close '!tty-&gt;count' was always wrong
because tty-&gt;count is decremented after tty-&gt;ops-&gt;close is called and
thus can never be zero. Hence the 'then' branch was never executed and
the timer never deleted.

This did not matter until commit 5dd5bc40f3b6 ("TTY: pdc_cons, use
tty_port").  There we needed to set TTY in tty_port to NULL, but this
never happened due to the bug above.

So change the test to really trigger at the last close by changing the
condition to 'tty-&gt;count == 1'.

Well, the driver should not touch tty-&gt;count at all.  It should use
tty_port-&gt;count and count open count there itself.

Instead of digging a tty out of the tty_driver struct, which is not

refcounting even though there is no possible race currently. But we

The timer is initialized too late. tty-&gt;open may fire an invalid
