Subject: [PATCH RESEND v2] console: Add persistent scrollback buffers for all VGA consoles
Date: Sun, 15 Jun 2014 01:15:15 +0200

Add a scrollback buffers for each VGA console. The benefit is that
the scrollback history is not flushed when switching between consoles
but is persistent.
The buffers are allocated on demand when a new console is opened.
