The main difference between 2.6.37 and e.g. 2.6.34 in drivers/char/tty_io.c
seems to be the locking change from (un)lock_kernel forward to (un)lock_tty.
This may have open a race ... if e.g. some other operations like loading
modules for the console output/input are not covedrd by (un)lock_tty.
Greg? Do you know what this change may cause on side of the user space?
