I think the console daemon tries to discard contiguous chunks of data,
rather than odd characters here and there. How effective it really is I'm
not sure, but certainly you can expect the discards to be in
reasonable-sized chunks and also to be pretty random. Why do you think this
has something to do with pv_ops lockups?
