The console is now by default in UTF-8 mode.
Also fix the needed "vt." prefix.

This documentation fix really deserves going into 2.6.24, else we'll
probably get a lot of bug reports like
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9319
(not that we won't have any...). Maybe that should even be announced in
a more highlighted place?
