Console events and accessibility
Some external modules like Speakup need to monitor console output. This adds a VT notifier that such modules can use to get console output events: allocation, deallocation, writes, other updates (cursor position, switch, etc.) [akpm@linux-foundation.org: fix headers_check] Signed-off-by: Samuel Thibault <samuel.thibault@ens-lyon.org> Cc: Dmitry Torokhov <dtor@mail.ru> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
