From: Stefan Bauer <redacted> Commit eaa0ff15c30dc9799eb4d12660edb73aeb6d32c5 ("fix ! versus & precedence in various places") introduced a regression in console switching when using i810fb. Every 5th to 10th console switch causes 'pixel waste' - the same line of multi-colored pixels repeated over the whole screen. This reverts eaa0ff1 for i810_main.c.

I think you need to add something to that line that avoids someone making the same change as eaa0ff15c30dc9799eb4d12660edb73aeb6d32c5 some years down the road. Might I suggest using "((!par->dev_flags) & LOCKUP)"? -- "One disk to rule them all, One disk to find them. One disk to bring them all and in the darkness grind them.
