BTW, so even if /dev/console doesn't handle switching behind the scenes,
Systemd at initramfs opens /dev/console, maybe fails, loads icc and
other modules. Then it does pivot_root and executes systemd on the
rootfs. At this point the /dev/console exists and the systemd should
continue without any issues.
