As a preparation for replacing the big kernel lock
in the TTY layer, wrap all the callers in new
macros tty_lock, tty_lock_nested and tty_unlock.

The buffer for the consoles are unconditionally allocated at con_init()
time, which miss the creation of the vcs(a) devices.

Since 2.6.30 (commit 4995f8ef, 'vcs:
hook sysfs devices into object lifetime instead of "binding"' to be
exact) these devices are no longer created at open() and removed on
close(), but controlled by the lifetime of the buffers.

During bootup performance tracing I noticed many occurrences of
vca* device creation and removal, leading to the usual userspace
uevent processing, which are, in this case, rather pointless.

A simple test showing the kernel timing (not including all the
work userspace has to do), gives us these numbers:
  $ time for i in `seq 1000`; do echo a > /dev/tty2; done
  real    0m1.142s
  user    0m0.015s
  sys     0m0.540s

If we move the hook for the vcs* driver core devices from the
tty "binding" to the vc allocation/deallocation, which is what
the vcs* devices represent, we get the following numbers:
  $ time for i in `seq 1000`; do echo a > /dev/tty2; done
  real    0m0.152s
  user    0m0.030s
  sys     0m0.072s

Now that device_create() has been audited, rename things back to the

device_create() is race-prone, so use the race-free
device_create_drvdata() instead as device_create() is going away.

After Al Viro (finally) succeeded in removing the sched.h #include in module.h
recently, it makes sense again to remove other superfluous sched.h includes.
There are quite a lot of files which include it but don't actually need
anything defined in there.  Presumably these includes were once needed for
macros that used to live in sched.h, but moved to other header files in the
course of cleaning it up.

To ease the pain, this time I did not fiddle with any header files and only
removed #includes from .c-files, which tend to cause less trouble.

Compile tested against 2.6.20-rc2 and 2.6.20-rc2-mm2 (with offsets) on alpha,
arm, i386, ia64, mips, powerpc, and x86_64 with allnoconfig, defconfig,
allmodconfig, and allyesconfig as well as a few randconfigs on x86_64 and all
configs in arch/arm/configs on arm.  I also checked that no new warnings were
introduced by the patch (actually, some warnings are removed that were emitted
by unnecessarily included header files).

Mark the static struct file_operations in drivers/char as const.  Making
them const prevents accidental bugs, and moves them to the .rodata section
so that they no longer do any false sharing; in addition with the proper
debug option they are then protected against corruption..

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!
