But I've just switched to udl (instead of udlfb) and will see if I can fix
the bugs there to make it usable as a console. udl is a rewrite of udlfb
with some additional features (e.g. drm), so hopefully fixing the remaining
problems there will require less work.

I may have fixed the major udl problem with being a console, patch was
posted to dri-devel yesterday, and I've pushed it into -next.
