mainlining shenanigans

This patch adds further TTY-based functionality, specifically implementation of send_xchar and tiocmset methods, and input. send_xchar and tiocmset methods simply delegate to corresponding TTY operations. For input, it implements the receive_buf2 callback in tty_ldisc_ops of speakup's ldisc. If a synth defines read_buff_add method then receive_buf2 simply delegates to that and returns. For spk_ttyio_in, the data is passed from receive_buf2 thread to spk_ttyio_in thread through spk_ldisc_data structure. It has following members: - char buf: represents data received - struct semaphore sem: used to signal to spk_ttyio_in thread that data is available to be read without having to busy wait - bool buf_free: this is used in comination with mb() calls to syncronise the two threads over buf receive_buf2 only writes to buf if buf_free is true. The check for buf_free and writing to buf are separated by mb() to ensure that spk_ttyio_in has read buf before receive_buf2 writes to it. After writing, it ups the semaphore to signal to spk_ttyio_in that there is now data to read. spk_ttyio_in waits for data to read by downing the semaphore. Thus when signalled by receive_buf2 thread above, it reads from buf and sets buf_free to true. These two operations are separated by mb() to ensure that receive_buf2 thread finds buf_free to be true only after buf has been read. After that spk_ttyio_in calls tty_schedule_flip for subsequent data to come in through receive_buf2.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
