Proposal for redesigning the TTY layer

Hello everyone,
Some of you may have already seen some messages on the Perforce list
that I am working on a new branch called `mpsafetty', which will be
primarily focused on removing the Giant lock from the TTY layer, but
will also be used to perform a lot of architectural changes to this part
of the kernel.
The last couple of days I've been working on a document which describes
the changes I'm going to perform. I have just finished this document, so
I'm sending it to this list, so you can give your opinion on this
matter.
As stated in the conclusion of this document, I am willing to continue
development after I graduate. Unfortunately I don't possess all hardware
supported by the TTY layer, which means I could use some help after I
finished by internship to bring back support for the remaining hardware.
I would like to thank the FreeBSD core team for offering me services to
publish my work online, but also the people at Snow B.V. for sponsoring
me in this effort. Thanks!
