but needs a lot more work. In particular, it has no flow control and has
a tendency to race when giving commands. It still uses Giant for the
tty and driver lock, but this is a keep-it-simple feature for now.
Some of the [temporary] proliferation of messages lines are way too long.
In the FreeBSD base system, there are only two utilities that use struct
tty, namely pstat and sicontrol. The sicontrol utility calls the
TCSI_TTY ioctl(), which copies struct tty back to userspace.
sicontrol should not have this functionality. The same data is already
provided by pstat. If we really want to be able to export these numbers
through a file descriptor to userspace, we can export struct xtty, which
should provide a better abstraction. The ttystat option was only used as
a debugging aid.
This makes sicontrol compile in the mpsafetty branch.

We need the ttyopen() and ttyclose() for the new generic cdevsw

expecting to receive anything sensible during a change in ldisc is
insane so no locking of the hotchar field is necessary.

general cleanup of the API. The entire API now consists of two functions
similar to the pre-KSE API. The suser() function takes a thread pointer
as its only argument. The td_ucred member of this thread must be valid
so the only valid thread pointers are curthread and a few kernel threads
such as thread0. The suser_cred() function takes a pointer to a struct
ucred as its first argument and an integer flag as its second argument.
The flag is currently only used for the PRISON_ROOT flag.

make the kernel aware that there are smaller units of scheduling than the

This is functionally equivalent to teh previousl -current except
that there is a thread associated with each process.
