Here. This is an actually usable and tested starting point for this all.
Again - it doesn't handle HDLC correctly, because it will chop all
reads up into 32-byte chunks.
And some other apps that think they'll get whole lines might end up
being confused too.
So it's not a "real" patch, but with improved buffer handling in
tty_read(), I think this is actually quite close.
NOTE: due to security reasons (ie password data), we do want to clear
that buffer after we've copied the data to user space. Again, not
something I did in my patch, so it would be part of that "improved
buffer handling"
