In my understanding ldisc is there already for a longer time: see 
include/linux/tty_ldisc.h ...

IMO it was suggested to use ldisc in the serial part of linuxpps (only) to 
prevent patches in serial_core.c ("HARDPPS_CD").

Some other patches  ("STA_NANO") are integrated in 2.6.26.

What's meant today by "tty-patches" Alan knows himself only.
(BKL removal et al.)
