Depends on how fast Linus takes my patches. In the end vty_init will initialize display drivers that need a other resource that are avaliable latter (i.e pci handling, irqs) and the other drivers will be called by vt_console_init. vt_console_init can be called much earlier than now. In fact I will soon remove the need to call bootmem. I plan to removal all the console related stuff from the arch directories!!! It can be done with some work. I done it for the ix86 platform. The need for a dummy console will also go away.
