You can also use the fb_registered_client static I added and rename
it to fbcon_initialized ;) Dunno if we actually _need_ the second call
to take_over_console at this point, so i left it called twice, but
I needed the static to protect against registering the notifier twice

(That was what was causing the notifier list to get corrupted and
mode changes to lockup in early implementations)

Ben.
