Hi,

This broke plymouth, i think.  Plymouth used the herustic:
"/sys/class/tty/console/active contains something other than tty0" to
mean "probably has serial consoles, force verbose messages instead of
a splash screen".  Now on a normal system it contains tty1.

I pushed a commit to plymouth that gets it working again, but it could
cause compatiblity concerns if new kernels are pushed to old releases.

Hm.  Breaking userspace is probably a bad thing here.

Greg, you have this queued for 3.13.5 at the moment.  Maybe we should
hold off on this one until this discussion is sorted out?

Looks like a broken patch, not a broken idea. So you should probably
hold off on this one till we figure it out. See Kay's comment on
Greg's series for more.

Thanks
David
