Getty doesn't need to be warned, and this should stop the extra login messages printed during shutdown. Also added several improvements which have been waiting for an opportunity to go in: - Multiple speeds on a line. The speed argument to getty can now be a comma-separated list of speeds (no spaces after the commas!). - Hooks for hardware speed sensing (although our drivers don't support this just yet). - Better error reporting. Most errors now cause getty to display "!getty error!" to ps instead of making the system thrash. - Various bits of internal cleanup.
