[PATCH 0/4] Resend: Commonalize -novtswitch & -sharevts across platforms

[Alan Coopersmith]

Originally submitted back in May, got no comments, trying again now that
we're opening a new merge window.

Explanation from original submission:

  Only built or tested on Solaris, even though it changes bsd & linux
  platform specific code, so BSD & Linux folks should review/test.

  This doesn't include the BSD support that Kibi started on, but should
  hopefully make it easier to drop that in.

  I did note that hw/xfree86/os-support/shared/VTsw_usl.c is no longer
  actually shared by multiple platforms.   I waffled between whether it
  made more sense to rename it to .../os-support/linux/lnx_VTsw.c or
  to find some way to make BSD share it, since bsd_VTsw.c is almost 
  identical except for the runtime checks to see if the right console
  code is being used to allow VT.  I chose to punt and leave it for someone
  else to play with later.

  I also tried to see if we could move the handling of these options
  completely into the common layer, but they're a bit too intertwined
  with the platform-specific console code to make that easily doable.

  I corrected the usage description to match what the code actually does,
  not what the usage message claimed it did.   If the code is wrong, and
  not switching on startup either is desired, then we've got a bug to fix.

  xfree86: move -novtswitch & -sharevts argument handling up to common
    layer
  Xorg.man: Add -novtswitch and -sharevts options
  sun_init.c: Move vt switches to a switch_to helper function like
    lnx_init.c
  sun_init.c: Implement novtswitch & sharevts for Solaris
