Subject: [PATCH 5/5] tty: make tty_class a static const structure

Now that the driver core allows for struct class to be in read-only
memory, move the tty_class structure to be declared at build time
placing it into read-only memory, instead of having to be dynamically
allocated at boot time.

Jiri and Ilpo, this is part of the larger driver-core changes to make it
possible to move struct class into read-only memory and is used as proof
that this all works properly.  I'll take it throught the driver-core
tree as it shoudn't conflict with any tty.git changes.
