I have one more comment, below. Generally, I don't think it is
important to make this change, but I think it's fine to switch
to the newer XArray interface. The result is a little simpler.

I'm basically new to using the XArray interface, but I
don't think you really need the xa_lock()/xa_unlock()
calls here. You are not relying on reference counting
to control when the allocated minor device numbers are
freed, so I'm pretty sure you can simply call xa_load()
to look up the gb_tty for the given minor device.
But please don't only take my word for it; investigate
it for yourself, and if needed ask others about it so
you're confident it's correct. There is no harm in
taking the lock, but if it's not needed, it would be
nice to avoid it.
If you conclude the locks are necessary, just say so,
and explain why, and I'll probably just accept it.
Otherwise, please explain why you are sure they are
not needed when you send version 4. Thank you.
