That support would be interesting, however there is some disagreement
over how it should be done.  There may be a general way to support
that in a module common to several tty drivers.

One thing I've thought may help this is to manage TWO tty structs
(each line does two ttymalloc() calls) which allows the dial-out
and dial-in (getty) processes to each block on their own tty.
The other per-line code then needs a "mode bit" or pointer to
the current tty (in or out) so it talks to the right one.
