[PATCH] Detaching fbcon: fix give_up_console()
To allow for detaching fbcon, it must be able to give up the console. However, the function give_up_console() is plain broken. It just sets the entries in the console driver map to NULL, it leaves the vt layer without a console driver, and does not decrement the module reference count. Calling give_up_console() is guaranteed to hang the machine.. To fix this problem, ensure that the virtual consoles are not left dangling without a driver. All systems have a default boot driver (either vgacon or dummycon) which is never unloaded. For those vt's that lost their driver, the default boot driver is reassigned back to them.
