[PATCH] VT binding: Add sysfs control to the VT layer
with the justification
"In addition, if any of the consoles are in KD_GRAPHICS mode, binding and
unbinding will not succeed. KD_GRAPHICS mode usually indicates that the
underlying console hardware is used for other purposes other than displaying
text (ie X). This feature should prevent binding/unbinding from interfering
with a graphics application using the VT."
I think we should lift this artificial restriction though:
- KD_GRAPHICS doesn't get cleaned up automatically, which means it's
easy to have terminals stuck in KD_GRAPHICS when hacking around on
X.
- X doesn't really care, especially with drm where kms already blocks
fbdev (and hence fbcon) when there's an active compositor.
- This is a root-only interface with a separate .config option and
it's possible to hang your machine already anyway if you
unload/reload drivers and don't know what you're doing.
With this patch i915.ko module reloading works again reliably,
something in the recent fedora upgrades broke things.

I think it tries to prevent vgacon (or other _hw_ consoles) from being
loaded. However, this was only interesting for UMS drivers, which used
this to prevent the kernel from messing with them. But nowadays we
have kernel drivers which control hand-over and hardware ownership, so
I cannot see why this protection is still needed:
