[PATCH 2/5] VT binding: Add sysfs support

["Antonino A. Daplas" <adaplas@gmail.com>]

Add sysfs attributes for binding and unbinding VT console drivers. The
attributes are located in /sys/class/tty/console and are namely:

    A. backend - list registered drivers in the following format:

    "I C: Description"

    Where: I  = ID number of the driver
           C  = status of the driver which can be:

		S = system driver
		B = bound modular driver
		U = unbound modular driver

	   Description - text description of the driver

    B. bind - binds a driver to the console layer

       echo <ID> > /sys/class/tty/console/bind

    C. unbind - unbinds a driver from the console layer

       echo <ID> > /sys/class/tty/console/unbind

The tty layer does nothing to these attributes except create them and punt all
requests to the VT layer.
