That is 95% Zoltan's hard work.

Current i have only
http://www.ltn.lv/~aivils/files/test/ruby-2.6.11-rc4-mm1-4.diff.bz2

It works with multiple fbdev. Sysop must add kernel commandline
"dumbcon=3D1:3" - one dummy console with 3 VCs in pool
After fbdev modules loading in to kernel fbcon is loadable too.
On fbcon start 1st fbdev /dev/fb0 will take over VGA console and
use vc:1-16. Console on 2nd fbdev will pop up when
# con2fb /dev/fb1 17
will be performed. After this command fb1 take over dummy
console with according count of VCs. Additional mingetty
must already run.

Cross maped fbdev is supported via dummy console anyway.
Allowed commands
initialize fb1
# con2fb /dev/fb1 17
map fb1 to vc:8
# con2fb /dev/fb1 8
this alghoritm is not polished.

To minimize workload seems i will drop original ruby source
and provide -mm related source. linux-ruby stay vanilla compatible
with additional 3-5 patch set.
