5.10.248-rc1 has been running fine on a physical amd64 system for 
roughly a day now, doing several tasks including running some KVM guests 
(also running 5.10.248-rc1 successfully) and compiling other stable 
kernel rc's. I can confirm it fixes the virtual console regression from 
5.10.247, and I have not seen any new regressions.

(As I described in a previous email, linked below, the 5.10.248-rc1 
fbdev patches allow two additional patches -- previously applied to 
5.15.y -- to apply cleanly to 5.10.y. It seems to me these are not 
important/urgent enough to delay 5.10.248 and they could go into the 
queue for 5.10.249.)
