I really have to look at the original frame buffer device patches from Martin
Schaller to see whether this was the intention of PROC_CONSOLE...
It's quite possible I introduced this myself, when playing with stuff I didn't
quite understand... To me it makes much more sense to have /dev/fb* operate on
the current videomode of /dev/fb*.
But I'm afraid this is once again a religious matter...
