If one boots with 'console=ttyS0', the 'ctrl o' should be handled only on ttyS0. However, I'm not sure if anyone uses ^O in this situation via the system console. In our case, ttyS0 is automatically activated via add_preferred_console in arch/powerpc/kernel/setup-common.c. If there is a clever way to handle ^O only for the system console, would such a patch be accepted? I'm currently looking through the code to see how it could be done.
