Subject: Re: [PATCH 4/6] drivers:misc: sources for Init manager module

Ok I had a brief dig

Making a driver able to say "and open me in this ldisc" is about ten
lines of code to the core tty layer if that.

There is one caveat - the actual ldisc attach method for an ldisc attach
isn't allowed to fail the attach. That's something we eventually need to
fix anyway.

Otherwise it doesn't look too scary and it would occur when the user
opened the file not when the device was created.
