You are both right.  

In the end conswitchp needs to be set if and only if CONFIG_VT is set.  
From this regard, I think it is OK to leave this config there even if 
not all that useful given current code.

OK, I admit.  I already checked it in that way :0  If anyone is seriously
mad, I can take it out.  It does not really matter.  What really
matters is we repealed another unnecessary tax on board part.
