I don't fully understand the magic of the vt register/unregister
logic, but apparently everything but the inital console (as set
in the conswitchp pointer) is marked with FLAG_MODULE. Which means
if something unregistered the boot vt driver (e.g. i915.ko kicking
out vga_con) there's nothing left when trying to unbind e.g. fbcon
through sysfs.
But we always have the dummy console hanging around, so this test
is fairly dubious. What we actually want is simply a different console
than the one we want to unbind.
