[LinuxPPS] [RFC] time_pps_createbyname()

[clemens at dwf.com]

Let me just say that the ONCORE driver (like the two that have already been 
mentioned)
opens two devices, one for ascii, one for PPS.  It is my belief that ALL the 
drivers
do this.

Considering the argument/discussion that is taking place due to the change in 
the
PPSAPI implementation, would it be possible to add a new function to LinuxPPS
that would/could associate the PPS source from one of your embedded systems
with some new serial port.  This would leave the PPSAPI as it stands and only 
add
a new function for those that need it.  If this port needs to have a magic 
name that
is recognized by the implementation, fine.
