In short, it permits login on R/O FS for for ordinary
users too (not only for root).

P.S. IMHO, most interesting is how an ordinary user
is expected to work with tty she doesn't own. :)
Actually, we need to check this first -- I propose to
do this in chroot with /dev being mounted r/o

I'll try to do this today.
