patch suggestion

If I'm reading it right, vconsole-setup uses setfont(8) to initialize tty1 and
then calls font_copy_to_all_vcs() to copy the font config of tty1 to
tty2/tty3/etc.

However, setfont can do more than just set the font, it can also install
character maps with PIO_SCRNMAP, PIO_UNISCRNMAP and PIO_UNIMAP.  When
vconsole-setup initializes tty2/tty3/etc. it should copy these tables along
with the font, or more conservatively, run setfont on each virtual terminal. 
Or maybe setfont could operate on a list of ttys.
