The only reason was that I don't completely understand what "driver-api" 
should contain. To be presice, documentation of line disciplines, tty 
buffer and tty internals (which is all contained in Documentation/tty) 
doesn't belong to "driver-api" IMO. If it it preferred to be there, I 
can move it, of course.
