Re: 2.6.0-test8 - CONFIG_PCI_CONSOLE

I have had the question. It appears to be dead code. unless someone speaks 
up I will remove that code.

in drivers/video/console/Kconfig, we have:

config PCI_CONSOLE

However, it's unclear what this variable actually *DOES*:

[/usr/src/linux-2.6.0-test8-mm1-a]2 find . ! -name '*.o' | xargs grep PCI_CONS
./drivers/video/console/Kconfig:config PCI_CONSOLE

./.config.old:CONFIG_PCI_CONSOLE=y
./config.old:CONFIG_PCI_CONSOLE=y

References in defconfig files, and in my .config, and that's about it...

It's been apparently dead code at least as far back as -test5-mm3.
