Adding console support should be as easy as throwing a register_console
into the init_module function.
natfeat does a register_console if you have debug on the kernel command
line. It doesn't seem to echo things sent to /dev/console, although the
aranym console does.
Printk() output appears on all registered and enabled (through console=
or debug) consoles.
/dev/console output appears on the last enabled console only.
E.g. for `console=ttyS0 console=tty0', printk() output appears on both,
while /dev/console == /dev/tty0.
