I see. That does make sense. I have appended a version of the patch which
adds the flag to tty_port and uses that inside tty_kopen.

>From readability point of view however, I think adding the flag to
tty_struct looks more intuitive. At least for now - until we move
other things from tty_struct to tty_port.

The patch is untested but I can work on this if that fits in with the
plans for tty.

Thanks,
Okash
