If you are doing synchronous protocols then they shouldn't be going via
the tty loopback in the first place. Why can't you use tuntap and the
like for synchronous protocols ? Stuffing them through the tty layer is a
bad hack anyway and not one we should encourage further.

What stops tty->pty_sync changing under the line discipline btw ?
