The variable preferred_console is used only inside register_console()
and it's semantics is boolean.  Make it clear.

This loses the index of the preferred console.
I'm not sure this is better.

That index is not used anywhere.  I believe the patch makes things clear.

Also, it indexes the array console_cmdline.  With introduction of the 
ACPI-selected console it does not have any sense and I would have to 
change it anyway.

Thank you
