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.

udev fully replaces this special file system that only contains CAPI
NCCI TTY device nodes. User space (pppdcapiplugin) works without
noticing the difference.

Despite all its bugs, the middleware support of our CAPI stack was
already in use for many, many moons. And after going through its code,
fixing all issues I found, I feel it deserves to officially become a
non-experimental feature.

With dynamic TTY nodes and the help of udev, we no longer need this
special filesystem. Schedule it for removal in one year from now.
As a last duty to this feature, move its help to right option so that
users can read the rationale.

The CAPI trace debug functions were using a fixed size buffer, which can be
overflowed if wrong formatted CAPI messages were sent to the kernel capi
layer. The code was also not protected against multiple callers. This fix
bug 8028.
Additionally the patch make the CAPI trace functions optional.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.
Let it rip!
