This is a bug fix to set the respective preferred console device for
conmode=3270. To make as few changes as possible for -rc7, the console
initialization for kvm has been moved to the new function.
You are right that s390_virtio_console_init() should be called from a
console_initcall(). I started working on another patch to solve this
issue for the next kernel release.
Best regards,
Hendrik
