But if we keep take_over_console, then we have to rewrite it as a trivial wrapper over do_take_over_console, or we have to keep bind_con_driver and register_con_driver, and this will bring use codes' redundance. And if we rewrite take_over_console as a wrapper over do_take_over_console, it is so trivial, delete it and let kernel use the unified version of APIs will simplify the APIs.
