In fact, none of the VT console drivers should have any dependency
on tty.h, only vt.c should.

I think, the only thing needed by fbcon (and all other drivers in
drivers/video/console) in tty.h is fg_console. We can move that
to vt_kern.h instead.

Do you want to take over this patch and merge it via your tree? Do you
want to move fg_console or do you want me to?

The patch in this message is related.
