    [PATCH] tty: preparatory structures for termios revamp · be90038a
    Alan Cox authored
    In order to sort out our struct termios and add proper speed control we need
    to separate the kernel and user termios structures.  Glibc is fine but the
    other libraries rely on the kernel exported struct termios and we need to
    extend this without breaking the ABI/API
    
    To do so we add a struct ktermios which is the kernel view of a termios
    structure and overlaps the struct termios with extra fields on the end for
    now.  (That limitation will go away in later patches).  Some platforms (eg
    alpha) planned ahead and thus use the same struct for both, others did not.
    
    This just adds the structures but does not use them, it seems a sensible
    splitting point for bisect if there are compile failures (not that I expect
    them)
