Bug 40486

Kevent/kqueue does not work with ttyv*, but it does work with pseudo terminals.

Fix: The following patch seems to make it work, but has not been tested a lot (only
on my laptop running 4.6-RELEASE).
select(2) and poll(2) work.

 int
How-To-Repeat: Compile and run the program kevent.c
When started on a virtual terminal, it gives the following error message:
kevent: setup kevent: Operation not permitted
This error message also occurs if the program is started as root.
When started from xterm, a login via ssh or similar, it works as it should.
