wow, that's so much less ugly.  however that looks like just the noswitchvt
patch, is the sharevts one not needed?  also, i looked in the ubuntu changelog
but couldn't find an attribution for those patches.

there's one piece of the community solution that i'm still not sure about:

 #ifdef DEBUG

     ((pciArg*)arg)->func(((pciArg*)arg)->tag, PCI_CMD_STAT_REG,
 			 ((pciArg*)arg)->ctrl);
+#endif
 }
 
 #undef SETBITS

this is _extremely_ dirty, basically this turns pciIoAccessDisable into a nop. 
apparently this is to work around lockups when one server shuts down.  how
gross.  need to look at the gentoo patches to figure out if they have a better
solution.

the sharevts and novtswitch patches in ubuntu look good to go, between those and
evdev i think we're mostly sorted for multiseat.  but i do want to figure out
that PCI hack.
