tty: move Kconfig entries into drivers/tty from drivers/char 



The Kconfig options for the drivers/tty/ files still were hanging around
in the "big" drivers/char/Kconfig file, so move them to the proper
location under drivers/tty and drivers/tty/hvc/

config VT

	bool "Virtual terminal" if EXPERT

	depends on !S390

	select INPUT

	default y

	---help---

	  If you say Y here, you will get support for terminal devices with

	  display and keyboard devices. These are called "virtual" because you

	  can run several virtual terminals (also called virtual consoles) on

	  one physical terminal. This is rather useful, for example one

	  virtual terminal can collect system messages and warnings, another

	  one can be used for a text-mode user session, and a third could run

	  an X session, all in parallel. Switching between virtual terminals

	  is done with certain key combinations, usually Alt-<function key>.



	  The setterm command ("man setterm") can be used to change the

	  properties (such as colors or beeping) of a virtual terminal. The

	  man page console_codes(4) ("man console_codes") contains the special

	  character sequences that can be used to change those properties

	  directly. The fonts used on virtual terminals can be changed with

	  the setfont ("man setfont") command and the key bindings are defined

	  with the loadkeys ("man loadkeys") command.



	  You need at least one virtual terminal device in order to make use

	  of your keyboard and monitor. Therefore, only people configuring an

	  embedded system would want to say N here in order to save some

	  memory; the only way to log into such a system is then via a serial

	  or network connection.



	  If unsure, say Y, or else you won't be able to do much with your new

	  shiny Linux system :-)



config CONSOLE_TRANSLATIONS

config VT_CONSOLE

	bool "Support for console on virtual terminal" if EXPERT

	depends on VT

	default y

	---help---

	  The system console is the device which receives all kernel messages

	  and warnings and which allows logins in single user mode. If you

	  answer Y here, a virtual terminal (the device used to interact with

	  a physical terminal) can be used as system console. This is the most

	  common mode of operations, so you should say Y here unless you want

	  the kernel messages be output only to a serial port (in which case

	  you should say Y to "Console on serial port", below).



	  If you do say Y here, by default the currently visible virtual

	  terminal (/dev/tty0) will be used as system console. You can change

	  that with a kernel command line option such as "console=tty3" which

	  would use the third virtual terminal as system console. (Try "man

	  bootparam" or see the documentation of your boot loader (lilo or

	  loadlin) about how to pass options to the kernel at boot time.)

         drivers may be enabled, such as the framebuffer console. If more than

         select the console driver that will serve as the backend for the

         virtual terminals.

config UNIX98_PTYS

	bool "Unix98 PTY support" if EXPERT

	default y

	---help---

	  A pseudo terminal (PTY) is a software device consisting of two

	  halves: a master and a slave. The slave device behaves identical to

	  a physical terminal; the master device is used by a process to

	  read data from and write data to the slave, thereby emulating a

	  terminal. Typical programs for the master side are telnet servers

	  and xterms.



	  Linux has traditionally used the BSD-like names /dev/ptyxx for

	  masters and /dev/ttyxx for slaves of pseudo terminals. This scheme

	  has a number of problems. The GNU C library glibc 2.1 and later,

	  however, supports the Unix98 naming standard: in order to acquire a

	  pseudo terminal, a process opens /dev/ptmx; the number of the pseudo

	  terminal is then made available to the process and the pseudo

	  terminal slave can be accessed as /dev/pts/<number>. What was

	  traditionally /dev/ttyp2 will then be /dev/pts/2, for example.
