Subject[PATCH] make devpts filesystem mandatory even for CONFIG_DEVFS
This patch rips out handling of UNIX98 ptys from devfs.  We already
have a special small filesystem to handle it (devpts) that's always
compiled in anyway. This allows to get rid of all DEVFS_FL* flags and
some gunk in devfs.

Please add a sentence about this in your relnotes, to avoid confusion
for devfs users who don't mount devfspts and don't get unix98 pty
support anymore (traditional ptys still work fine so there shouldn't
be any real problems even if they forget it)
