Ted, I wondered:
Looking at 2.5.60 I see
struct tty_struct {
int magic;
struct tty_driver driver;
...
and it looks like this struct tty_driver is never modified.
Since it is rather large, why not replace it by
struct tty_driver *driver;
?
As it is now, the initialization in init_dev() does
tty->driver = *driver;
just duplicating constant data.
Is this a historical relict, or does this duplication have a function?
