Why don't you just add CON_REGISTERED to the console flags, and do /* Already registered? */ if (early_console->flags & CON_REGISTERED) return; early_console->flags |= CON_REGISTERED; there instead? That whole "loop over existing consoles to check their names" looks silly and broken, and you're already playing with the flags in there (CON_BOOT).
