    Revert "tty: Add a new VT mode which is like VT_PROCESS but doesn't require a VT_RELDISP ioctl call"
    
    This reverts commit eec9fe7d.
    
    Ari writes as the reason this should be reverted:
    	The problems with this patch include:
    	1. There's at least one subtlety I overlooked - switching
    	between X servers (i.e. from one X VT to another) still requires
    	the cooperation of both X servers. I was assuming that KMS
    	eliminated this.
    	2. It hasn't been tested at all (no X server patch exists which
    	uses the new mode).
    
    As he was the original author of the patch, I'll revert it.
