47/* The previous behavior of not unregistering led to /dev/console being
48 * impossible to open. My FC5 filesystem started having init die, and the
49 * system panicing because of this. Unregistering causes the real
50 * console to become the default console, and /dev/console can then be
51 * opened. Making this an initcall makes this happen late enough that
52 * there is no added value in dumping everything to stderr, and the
53 * normal console is good enough to show you all available output.
