Add a scrollback buffers for each VGA console. The benefit is that the scrollback history is not flushed when switching between consoles but is persistent.

Some people rely on this scrollback flushing as a security feature. Is there even another way to clear the scrollback, than to switch to another vt and then back again?

Debian ships this:
http://manpages.debian.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=clear_console
https://sources.debian.net/src/bash/4.2%2Bdfsg-0.1/debian/clear_console.c
