Speaking of names... The word "console" is used to mean three
different things in the kernel.  Last time I had to understand the
console code (because it wasn't showing on some device) that didn't
help.  But it was a 2.4 kernel 2 years ago so I didn't submit a patch :-)

It would be a sensible though boring cleanup to change all the "VC"
(virtual console) stuff to use the name "VT" (virtual terminal)
consistently.
