We used to allocate major numbers quite randomly, with no common place
to look them up if needed.
This commit is changing that by placing all major number allocations
under a new C++ namespace, in the API/MajorNumberAllocation.h file.
We also add the foundations of what is needed before we can publish this
information (allocated numbers for block and char devices) to userspace.
MasterPTY::read called DoubleBuffer::read which takes a mutex (which
may block) while holding m_slave's spinlock. If it did block, and was
later rescheduled on a different physical CPU, we would deadlock on
re-locking m_slave inside the unblock callback. (Since our recursive
spinlock implementation is processor based and not process based)
MasterPTY's double buffer unblock callback would take m_slave's
spinlock and then call evaluate_block_conditions() which would take
BlockerSet's spinlock, while on the other hand, BlockerSet's
add_blocker would take BlockerSet's spinlock, and then call
should_add_blocker, which would call unblock_if_conditions_are_met,
which would then call should_unblock, which will finally call
MasterPTY::can_read() which will take m_slave's spinlock.
Resolve this by moving the call to evaluate_block_conditions() out of
the scope of m_slave's spinlock, as there's no need to hold the lock
while calling it anyways.
