Queued TTY Patches

This is the patch stack waiting for 2.6.28 to open. The patches start with various queued bug fixes then move on to tackle the first stage of making the tty layer sane. These patches have been in linux-next.

The main thrust is to begin using krefs and refcounts to kill races and make the locking saner. At this point we still have BKL users but will hopefully change bit by bit.
