Hi Peter, this series patches' goal is to reduce codes'
redundance and function duplication. 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.

Thanks.
