I gave this a run hoping it would fix the issues I'm seeing with the console
getting messed up when UML exits via halt in the guest. Echo is turned off
and looks like carriage return doesn't work either. I'm using "reset" to get
the terminal back to its previous state. Unfortunately this patch series did
not fix this issue.

I'm not saying that these aren't valid fixes. But it does appear that these
changes don't make sure that "everything" changed on the host side is undone.
