It's init (process #1). /etc/ioctl.save saves the stty(1) settings of the console. This is because originally, Linux and Unix didn't have a way to specify the console speed, parity etc at bootup which for a serial console is important. So if you boot single-user mode, at the moment you leave single-user mode the settings of the console are saved in /etc/ioctl.conf. The next time you boot and init is started, it restores the console settings from /etc/ioctl.save Now today you can set the console speed, bits and parity on the kernel command line when booting, so it's not all that important anymore. So in sysvinit-2.85 the ioctl.save code was removed. Current testing/unstable doesn't have a /etc/ioctl.save anymore.
