The console subsystem only provides a function to switch to a given
console, but we want to actually only switach away from vgacon.
Unconditionally switching to the dummy console resulted in switching
away from fbcon in multi-gpu setups when other gpu drivers are loaded
before i915.
Then either the reinitialization of fbcon when i915 registers its
fbdev emulation or the teardown of the fbcon driver killed the
machine. So only switch to the dummy console when it's required.
Kudos to Chris for the original idea, I've only refined it a bit to
still unregister vgacon even when it's currently unused.
This regression has been introduced in

The Direct Rendering Manager (drm) is a device-independent kernel-level
device driver that provides support for the XFree86 Direct Rendering
Infrastructure (DRI).
The DRM supports the Direct Rendering Infrastructure (DRI) in four major
ways:
1. The DRM provides synchronized access to the graphics hardware via
the use of an optimized two-tiered lock.
2. The DRM enforces the DRI security policy for access to the graphics
hardware by only allowing authenticated X11 clients access to
restricted regions of memory.
3. The DRM provides a generic DMA engine, complete with multiple
queues and the ability to detect the need for an OpenGL context
switch.
4. The DRM is extensible via the use of small device-specific modules
that rely extensively on the API exported by the DRM module.
Documentation on the DRI is available from:
http://dri.freedesktop.org/wiki/Documentation
