Not sure you want to annotate this, but this just makes the bug
reproducible on vkms. It's a preexisting issue (probably a few decades
old) of the fbcon code afaict. It might also be that you can only repro
this when you have multiple fbcon drivers (vkms plus whatever your virtual
machine has I guess).
