I am going to to give some more testing v4 within next few days.
If it works well, I think that it would need just some cosmetic
changes.

For example, it would be nice to somehow encapsulate
the handshake-related code into few helpers. I believe that
it might help us to understand and maintain it. Both
vprintk_emit() and console_unlock() were too long already
before.
