BSD has /dev/vc/0 right? I suspect that code is there to support BSD

I think it was there to support devfs.

As far as I know the only time Linux has ever had /dev/vc/0 was during
the brief excursion into devfs land. At that time /proc/tty/drivers
was modified to support devfs.  But now devfs has been removed and the
device has reverted back to tty0. But /proc/tty/drivers wasn't
adjusted for devfs removal.

Agreed.
