I've applied the patch as-is since I'm starting my merge window work
with "random patches in my queue".

I'm not 100% sure we care all that much about trying to make the
console be more vt100-compatible, considering how long we've been at
the current state.

But I have to admit to being slightly emotionally attached to us doing
reasonably well on this side. One of the original things Linux did was
console emulation, even before it was an OS..
