I have to think about it. If you opened a pty in a chroot, the pty node
will appear both in the chroot and in the regular mount. If you opened
a pty outside the chroot, the pty will appear only in the regular mount
and not in the chroot, right? If you have 2 chroots, each one will only
show its own ptys, but the regular not rooted mount will show all of them?

I'll convert to an STAILQ
