  • Additions and removal from tty_drivers list were just done as well as
    iterating on it for /proc/tty/drivers generation.

    testing: modprobe/rmmod loop of simple module which does nothing but
    tty_register_driver() vs cat /proc/tty/drivers loop

  • Many struct file_operations in the kernel can be "const". Marking them const
    moves these to the .rodata section, which avoids false sharing with potential
    dirty data. In addition it'll catch accidental writes at compile time to
    these shared resources.

  • Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
    even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
    archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
    3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
    git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
    infrastructure for it.

    Let it rip!
