[PATCH] fbcon unimap fix
fbcon doesn't set a unimap at boot time, so special characters come out wrongly. This is the code sequence in take_over_console(). newcon->startup() oldcon->deinit() newcon->init() The previous console driver (ie, vgacon), via its deinit method, may release the unimap allocated by fbcon in fbcon_startup. This is the reason why calling con_set_default_unimap() in fbcon_init() works, but not in fbcon_startup(). Check if the default display has an allocated unimap, and if it has none, call con_set_default_unimap(). And if the target display has no allocated unimap, then call con_copy_unimap(), where the source unimap is from the default display.
