Well, the mechanics of savng/restoring fbcon are handled exclusivly by
the kernel, so I could not tell you exactly waht it does.

The bigger question is why are we saving/restoring fbcon where we do,
and I don't have an answer for that either.  None of my systems use a
framebuffer console for anything, so I have a hard time testing that
functionality.
