I just noticed one more problem: The file that you add the option to is
conditional on CONFIG_VT, and that option is user-selectable. If
VT is disabled, you will get a warning from architectures that select
the symbol.

I think you should move the statement above into drivers/video/Kconfig,
outside of the 'if VT'.
