Are you sure? There used to be a comment about this in drivers/char/console.c.
It said the feature was removed because `it's messy to have all consoles of
potentially different sizes'.
In my tree it reads (since a very long time :-):
| /*
| * ++Geert: Change # of rows and columns for one specific console.
| * Of course it's not messy to have all consoles of potentially different
| * sizes, except on PCish hardware :-)
| */
| void vc_resize_con(unsigned long lines, unsigned long cols,
| unsigned int currcons)
Greetings,
