If you are talking about set_cursor() one, I believe that you can trigger
it on up too, as scrollback code is handled from irq/bh context - so
irqsave in spin_lock_irqsave() takes effect on UP too... But as I do not
have UP, I cannot verify my suspect (boot with init=/bin/bash, at prompt
type echo > /dev/tty2, switch to tty2 and back (to hide logo) and then
do ls -lR / and hold down shift-pgup... if you have non-reentrant accelerated
driver, it will die in 10 seconds ...).
