Pull tty/serial patches from Greg Kroah-Hartman:
 "Here's the big tty/serial driver patches for 3.9-rc1.

  More tty port rework and fixes from Jiri here, as well as lots of
  individual serial driver updates and fixes.

  All of these have been in the linux-next tree for a while."

* tag 'tty-3.9-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/tty: (140 commits)
  tty: mxser: improve error handling in mxser_probe() and mxser_module_init()
  serial: imx: fix uninitialized variable warning
  serial: tegra: assume CONFIG_OF
  TTY: do not update atime/mtime on read/write
  lguest: select CONFIG_TTY to build properly.
  ARM defconfigs: add missing inclusions of linux/platform_device.h
  fb/exynos: include platform_device.h
  ARM: sa1100/assabet: include platform_device.h directly
  serial: imx: Fix recursive locking bug
  pps: Fix build breakage from decoupling pps from tty
  tty: Remove ancient hardpps()
  pps: Additional cleanups in uart_handle_dcd_change
  pps: Move timestamp read into PPS code proper
  pps: Don't crash the machine when exiting will do
  pps: Fix a use-after free bug when unregistering a source.
  pps: Use pps_lookup_dev to reduce ldisc coupling
  pps: Add pps_lookup_dev() function
  tty: serial: uartlite: Support uartlite on big and little endian systems
  tty: serial: uartlite: Fix sparse and checkpatch warnings
  serial/arc-uart: Miscll DT related updates (Grant's review comments)
  ...

Fix up trivial conflicts, mostly just due to the TTY config option
clashing with the EXPERIMENTAL removal.

<title>tty: Added a CONFIG_TTY option to allow removal of TTY</title>

The option allows you to remove TTY and compile without errors. This
saves space on systems that won't support TTY interfaces anyway.
bloat-o-meter output is below.

The bulk of this patch consists of Kconfig changes adding "depends on
TTY" to various serial devices and similar drivers that require the TTY
layer.  Ideally, these dependencies would occur on a common intermediate
symbol such as SERIO, but most drivers "select SERIO" rather than
"depends on SERIO", and "select" does not respect dependencies.

bloat-o-meter output comparing our previous minimal to new minimal by
removing TTY.  The list is filtered to not show removed entries with awk
'$3 != "-"' as the list was very long.

The CONFIG_EXPERIMENTAL config item has not carried much meaning for a
while now and is almost always enabled by default. As agreed during the
Linux kernel summit, remove it from any "depends on" lines in Kconfigs.

virtio network device multiqueue support reserves
vq 3 for future use (useful both for future extensions and to make it
pretty - this way receive vqs have even and transmit - odd numbers).
Make it possible to skip initialization for
specific vq numbers by specifying NULL for name.
Document this usage as well as (existing) NULL callback.

Drivers using this not coded up yet, so I simply tested
with virtio-pci and verified that this patch does
not break existing drivers.

Instead of storing the queue index in transport-specific virtio structs,
this patch moves them to vring_virtqueue and introduces an helper to get
the value.  This lets drivers simplify their management and tracing of
virtqueues.

Instead of using unlazy_fpu() check if user_has_fpu() and set/clear
the host TS bits so that the lguest works fine with both the
lazy/non-lazy FPU host models with minimal changes.
