You'd need to ifdef both of these for non RT cases. I think it may be
right for RT although I'm not 100% sure on the locking.
At this point I think we'd be better off sorting out our tty locking in
general before tackling RT optimisations. However as an RT patch it
looks good and its interesting to see RT simplifying code not making it
more complex.
