The read function for consoles in include/linux/console.h contains const
char* for a pointer that it will actually modify. Although no one seems
to be using this as of now, it should be corrected.

Hi all,
(resending updated version for 2.5.69)
The read function for consoles in include/linux/console.h contains const
char* for a pointer that it will actually modify. Although no one seems
to be using this as of now, it should be corrected.
