killed the last remnants of callout stuff - we don't need to mess with
storing termios privately anymore.

added helper functions for allocation and freeing tty_driver

->table[], ->termios[] and ->locked_termios[] allocated dynamically
in tty_register_driver() and freed in tty_unregister_driver().  Per-driver
arrays gone.

->refcount switched from int * to int.  Per-driver variables gone since we had
switched from int foo = 0; driver.refcount = &foo; to driver.refcount = 0;

Fixes a couple of leaks in char_dev.c

Tioclinux() uses "magic numbers" that applications should know to use it.
Here is a patch which adds an include/linux/tiocl.h which holds them and
can be used by applications to properly call iotcl(TIOCLINUX).  It might
stand for documentation as well, replacing the not up-to-date man
ioctl_list.

A structure for the selection argument is also defined.

fails.  (From 2.4).

This patch against 2.5.70-bk2 removes the buffer allocation from resource.c
and lets seq_read do it instead.

From: Hugh Dickins <hugh@veritas.com>

Remove shmem_nrpages, no use is made of it (even 2.4-ac, though it counts
it, does nothing with it): reintroduce if it becomes useful.  Replace GPL
oneliner by the block from 2.4-ac, extend Copyright to 2003, remove two
white spaces.
