OK, so if we don't remove it, we should probably make it so that it
can be used without triggering any WARN_ONs, which would require changing
the existing WARN_CONSOLE_UNLOCKED() so that the calls from drivers/tty/vt/vt.c
also do not trigger it ?

I guess one can just ignore the oopses when debugging, but debugging surely
would be easier if there are just no oopses ?

Regards,

Hans
