COMPAT_BSDPTY at least should be its own module anyway.

I'd argue that it should NOT be available as module at all, but work only
when build into the kernel.

It is only usefull for installers and similar very limited setups and
dangerous in general (or am I misrembering?)

What is wrong with it ?

I use BSD ptys on all my systems and don't use ptyfs.
