Eelco Dolstra 1a82024dd8 In the tests, don't start agetty on /dev/ttyS0
Running agetty on ttyS0 interferes with the backdoor, which uses ttyS0
as its standard error.  After agetty starts, writes to the stderr file
descriptor will return EIO (though doing "exec 2>/proc/self/fd/2" will
miracuously fix this).
