Subject: [PATCH 0/3] tty/vt: fix various 512 glyph font issues

Recently I've run into an issue where a monochrome fbcon behaved strange
with a 512 glyph font. That's mostly a fbcon problem but will need
changes in vt as well. However this series is not about that yet.

Instead it's about 3 related problems which were found at the same time.
These are specific to vt only and are a problem with vgacon.

These patches were prepared to apply on tty-next.

Zsolt Kajtar (3):
  tty/vt: 8th bit location in vc_uniscr routines
  tty/vt: Prevent 8th bit corruption with soft cursor
  tty/vt: Fix unreadable kernel messages on vgacon
