We have watch out here. We could add msb_right to fb_info but we can't
remove it from fb_fix_screeninfo without breaking things :-( I assume it
__u32 for word alignment issues. currcon is no longer need for ruby :-)
We have struct vt_struct to represent each VT and struct vc_data to
represent each virtual console that belongs to some VT.
