For the record, attached are three alternative [1] untested
proof-of-concept patches that make kernel start on vt7.
It doesn't seem to be as simple as I had hoped, but if this is something
we want to do, I can come up with cleaner versions and see what upstream
thinks.
BTW, I know fedora uses vt1 for X, but what about other distros, e.g.
Ubuntu/Debian?
[1] by default only the first vt is initialized on early boot, the rest
are initialized on-demand. Since vt7 is not initialized, the patches
take different approaches: (1) allocate 7 vt's on early boot, (2)
allocate vt7 in addition to vt1, (3) only allocate vt7
