At present this console is optionally registered by NULL checking
arch_kgdb_ops.enable_nmi. In practice this requires the architecture
dependant code to implement some kind of control (e.g. module arguments)
to enable/disable this feature.

The kernel already provides us the perfectly adequate console= argument
to enable/disable consoles. Let's use that instead!

<title>tty: kgdb_nmi: Automatically manage tty enable</title>

At present it is not possible to boot with the ttyNMI0 console treating
character input normally, instead character input triggers a prompt
telling the user how to trigger the knock detector and enter the
debugger. To use the console normally requires that kdb be entered and
the nmi_console command be used to enable the console (or if only kgdb
is present then gdb must directly manipulate the value of
kgdb_nmi_tty_enabled).

This patch automates the management of kgdb_nmi_tty_enabled by keeping
track of the number of file handles that are open for reading and using
that to determine how to tty should operate.

The approach means that:

1. Behaviour before init starts is unchanged.

2. If the userspace runs a getty or some other interactive process on
   /dev/console (or explicitly on /dev/ttyNMI0) the tty will treat
   character input like any other tty.

3. If the userspace doesn't use /dev/console or if it uses /dev/console
   only to log messages (O_WRONLY) then the user prompt is retained.

kgdb_nmi_tty_enabled is used for two unrelated purposes, namely to
suppress normal TTY input handling and to suppress console output
(although it has no effect at all on TTY output). A much better way to
handle muting the console is to not have to mute it in the first place!
That's what this patch does.

kgdb_nmi uses tasklets on the assumption they will not be scheduled
until the next timer tick. This assumption is invalid and can lead to
live lock, continually servicing the kgdb_nmi tasklet. This is fixed
by using the timer API instead.

This corrects a crash in kgdb_nmi_tty_shutdown() which occurs when
the function is called with port-&gt;tty set to NULL.

All conversions between struct tty_port and struct kgdb_nmi_tty_priv
have been switched to direct calls to container_of() to improve code
clarity and consistancy.

None of these files are actually using any __init type directives
and hence don't need to include &lt;linux/init.h&gt;.  Most are just a
left over from __devinit and __cpuinit removal, or simply due to
code getting copied from one driver to the next.

There's no reason kgdb.h itself needs to include the 8250 serial port
header file.  So push it down to the _very_ limited number of individual
drivers that need the values in that file, and fix up the places where
people really wanted serial_core.h and platform_device.h.

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.
