Description: patch for drivers/char/vt.c
Fixed utf-8 mode so alternate charset modes always work according
to control sequences interpreted in do_con_trol function
preserving backward US-ASCII and VT100 semigraphics compatibility.
Malformed utf-8 sequences are represented as sequences of replacement
glyphs,original codes or '?' as a last resort.
unicode-xterm, gnome-terminal, kconsole and other terminal emulators
in utf-8 mode respect acsc, enacs, rmacs sequences. Also I found that
some important system programs (from Debian distro) uses acsc in utf-8
mode - dselect, aptitude, w3m for example.

Testing this in -mm would be good.
