When we do this it becomes clear the lock we should be holding is the vc
lock, and in fact many of our other helpers are properly invoked this way.
We don't at this point guarantee not to race the keyboard code but the results
of that appear harmless and that was true before we started as well.
We now have no users of tty_lock in the console driver...

At this point we have the tty_lock guarding a couple of oddities, plus the
translation and unimap still.
We also extend the console_lock in a couple of spots where coverage is wrong
and switch vcs_open to use the right lock !

Keyboard struct lifetime is easy, but the locking is not and is completely
ignored by the existing code. Tackle this one head on
- Make the kbd_table private so we can run down all direct users
- Hoick the relevant ioctl handlers into the keyboard layer
- Lock them with the keyboard lock so they don't change mid keypress
- Add helpers for things like console stop/start so we isolate the poking
around properly
- Tweak the braille console so it still builds
There are a couple of FIXME locking cases left for ioctls that are so hideous
they should be addressed in a later patch. After this patch the kbd_table is
private and all the keyboard jiggery pokery is in one place.
This update fixes speakup and also a memory leak in the original.

First step to debletcherising the vt console layer - pick a victim and fix
the locking
This is a nice simple object with its own rules so lets pick it out for
treatment. The user of the table already has a lock so we will also use the
same lock for updates.

KDFONTOP(GET) currently fails with EIO when being run in a 32bit userland
with a 64bit kernel if the font width is not 8.
This is because of the setting of the KD_FONT_FLAG_OLD flag, which makes
con_font_get return EIO in such case.
This flag should *not* be set for KDFONTOP, since it's actually the whole
point of this flag (see comment in con_font_set for instance).

virtual console: add keyboard mode OFF
Add a new mode for the virtual console keyboard OFF in which all input
other than shift keys is ignored. Prevents vt input buffers from
overflowing when a program opens but doesn't read from a tty, like X11
using evdev for input.

The -rt patches change the console_semaphore to console_mutex. As a
result, a quite large chunk of the patches changes all
acquire/release_console_sem() to acquire/release_console_mutex()
This commit makes things use more neutral function names which dont make
implications about the underlying lock.
The only real change is the return value of console_trylock which is
inverted from try_acquire_console_sem()
This patch also paves the way to switching console_sem from a semaphore to
a mutex.
