IIU the SUSv4 description C, and given that a newly opened console is always setup with the default termios settings anyway, we could simply set O_TTY_INIT to 0 and be done with it: If path identifies a terminal device other than a pseudo-terminal, the device is not already open in any process, and either O_TTY_INIT is set in oflag or O_TTY_INIT has the value zero, open() shall set any non-standard termios structure terminal parameters to a state that provides conforming behavior.
