UML's tty driver is a corner case. (It is a console but does not support
virtual consoles, etc...)
TTY folks are currently moving most drivers to the new tty_port 
interface. UML has also to use tty_port. But as of writing of the my 
tty-patch tty_port was not fully ready for consoles.
Anyway, I'll checkout what's the current state of tty_port is and 
rewrite UML's TTY mess^Wdriver again. :)
