3 patches? I only saw 2. Or do you mean the modifications of the 3
files?
The patches look sane but you should change the global symbols to play
nicer in the namespace. Care to respin them together with this change?

Yeah, that shouldn't be that tough to do.
It doesn't look like these changes handle scrolling of the console, do
they? If so, don't you need to do more? I had some old patches around

don't think this hook can handle :(
