Hi everyone!!

  Well I have the patch attached what I have done. It bzip2ed and its 76K.
Unzipped it 536K so you can see it is a massive rewrite. I still have some
cleanup to do yet and some early testing.

Completed:

 Removed dependency on currcon. Now it uses vc_data. 
 
 Removed struct vc. Not needed.
 
 Changed what vt_struct and vc_data do. Now vt_struct represents a real VT
 and vc_data represents each VC. 

 Each vt_struct has a VC pool since you see /dev/tty0 to /dev/tty64 but
 each /dev/tty could belong to some head we don't know about. So the 0-64
 to VC pool/VT mapping code had to worked out. 

TODO:

 Fix con_open. Right now the console system dynamically allocates each VC.
 I have to figure away to find which VT each tty belongs to when con_open
 is called.

 Finish the VT switching code. 
 
 Figure out how to have each head be able to be blanked indepedently of
 each other.

Q: Why did they deprecate a.out support in linux?
A: Because a nasty coff is bad for your elf.
