    [PATCH] devpts cleanup · 2aa85937
    Alexander Viro authored
    	* devpts "upcalls" eliminated.
    	* instead of playing games with revalidation we simply use
    ramfs-style tree and kill dentries upon devpts_pty_kill().  That
    allows to get rid of a lot of code in fs/devpts/*.c.
    	* devpts_fs.h cleaned up.
    	* devpts/root.c and devpts/devpts_i.h removed.
    	* array of pointers to devpts inodes killed; with ramfs-style tree
    it's not needed anymore.
    	* devpts/inode.c cleaned up.
    	* devpts_pty_new() used to get mk_kdev() only to convert it to
    dev_t (hardly a surprise, since it's mknod() in disguise).  Now it gets
    dev_t as an argument.
