This patch seems pretty darn useless to me; it is replicating
functionality from the standard driver as well as /dev/vcsa with
little or no additional functionality. This stuff can be done without
kernel bloat pretty easily. There might be something to be said for
having a BIOS style keyboard mode, though, if only to make it easier
for people to port stuff from DOS, any maybe to help out the DOSemu
guys.
