[systemd-devel] [PATCH] vconsole: rerun setup on console takeovers as well

[Jan Engelhardt]

When a system, which has an FB driver and fbcon loaded and active,
then the font state gets lost on console takeovers, as for example
issued by i915. Since fbcon remains loaded and active, the existing
event handling (add/vtcon*) is not sufficient.

This goes on top of the other patchset I sent earlier.
