Subject: [PATCH 2 of 2] netconsole: add write-only tty driver

This allows userspace to output to netconsole via the /dev/console device,
which is very useful to see initscript output, for example. There is only one
netconsole TTY device, and TTY output goes to all receivers specified for
console output.

Input via /dev/console is still not implemented, however.
