    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.
