2.1.42 termios corruption

I recompiled the kernel with the slab.c patch and the terminal echo
is no longer corrupt. The slab patch should have nothing to do with
the problem but I think the result is simply because some addresses
have changed after the patch was installed (code got larger).

slab.c patch

c01f3000 A __init_begin
c01fa000 A __init_end
c01dc4ce ? __kstrtab_tty_std_termios
c01df890 ? __ksymtab_tty_std_termios
c024db4c B tty_std_termios

unpatched kernel

c01f3000 A __init_begin
c01fa000 A __init_end
c01dc44e ? __kstrtab_tty_std_termios
c01df810 ? __ksymtab_tty_std_termios
c024db4c B tty_std_termios

I note that the offset of tty_std_termios did not change. However, some
other termios structures did.

Cheers,
DJ
