Seems like we missed the boat on 2.4.x... Linus just announced 2.3.51 being
the last 2.3 kernel and then he'll start with 2.4-pre and only accept
bugfixes.  So i guess i'll have to split the 2.3 patch into two pieces:
- bugfixes for the VT emulator
- enhancements of the VT emulator

Just had 2.3.50, with the 2.3.40 patch applied, compile without problems.
Unfortunately my laptop locks up when i boot it (not console related: the
cardbus controller is probably grabbing the kbd irq for the ethernet card).

Time now to get some well-deserved sleep...
