The kernel offers with TIOCL_GETKMSGREDIRECT ioctl() the possibility to
redirect the kernel messages to a specific console.
However, since it's not possible to switch to the kernel message console
after a panic(), it would be nice if the kernel would print the panic
message on the current console.
This patch series adds a new interface to access the global kmsg_redirect
variable by a function to be able to use it in code where
CONFIG_VT_CONSOLE is not set (kernel/panic.c).
This patch:
Instead of using and exporting a global value kmsg_redirect, introduce a
function vt_kmsg_redirect() that both can set and return the console where
messages are printed.
Change all users of kmsg_redirect (the VT code itself and kernel/power.c)
to the new interface.
The main advantage is that vt_kmsg_redirect() can also be used when
CONFIG_VT_CONSOLE is not set.

Use DECLARE_BITMAP(), find_first_zero_bit(), set_bit() and clear_bit()
instead of rewriting code to do it with the minor number dynamic
allocation bitmap.
We need to invert the bit position to keep the code behaviour of using the
last minor numbers first, since we don't have a find_last_zero_bit.

If there's a failure creating the device (because there's already one with
the same name, for example), the current implementation does not clear the
bit for the allocated minor and that number is lost for future
allocations.
Second, the test currently in misc_deregister is broken, since it does not
test for the 0 minor.

The fasync path takes the BKL (it probably doesn't need to in fact)
while holding the file_list spinlock. You can't do that with the kernel
lock: it causes lock inversions and deadlocks.
Leave the BKL over that bit for the moment.

In nvram_write, first of all, correctly handle the case where the file
pointer is already beyond the end; we should return EOF in that case.
Second, make the logic a bit more explicit so that gcc can statically
prove that the copy_from_user() is safe. Once the condition of the
beyond-end filepointer is eliminated, the copy is safe but gcc can't
prove it, causing build failures for i386 allyesconfig.
Third, eliminate the entirely superfluous variable "len", and just use
the passed-in variable "count" instead.

The tty count sanity check may need the BKL, that isn't clear. However it
is clear that the count use of the lock is internal and independant of the
bigger use of the lock.
Furthermore the file list locking is also separately locked already

moxa_openlock is used for several situations where we want to handle the
case of an ioctl that crosses many ports (not just the open tty), and also
cases where an open races a deinit (eg a pci unplug) and we hangup a port
before we can cope with that.
The non open race cases can use the moxa_lock spinlock. This simplifies sorting
out the remaining mess.

Some devices want to set IO_ERROR in their activate methods so that you can
be handed a 'dead' port for operations like setserial. Thus we need to
clear the flag before activate so that activate can choose to set the flag
and still return 0.
This is fine as the file handle/tty are not accessible to the user yet.
