More important fixes to get in first (and there's a shitload of crap related to calling the setup functions in fbdev's that need fixing too if/when we change that init stuff). My idea about adding an initcall level was for pure convenience, but may be wrong. It's handy to have the console inited before the rest that's all ;) We can leave that out for now, maybe just linking drivers/video before the rest is enough to get that anyway.
