Alan,

Commit d29f3ef "tty_lock: Localise the lock" appears to cause a problem
for me.

With this commit (as in next-20120507), I can no longer log into my
system (NVIDIA Tegra device with ARM CPU) over the serial console, since
the login prompt no longer appears. If I wait a few minutes, I see the
following console spew:

If I revert that commit, then everything works again.
