Good idea. I couldn't get tty_put_char() to trigger nicely, but I just
hard coded one to occur, so at least now I know that this doesn't
deadlock when called normally.

Another suggestion Serge gave off list was to write a kernel module
that implemented a driver. I'll see about doing that to see if I can
force the original crash.
