Jesse, I already implemented (and tested) selective framebuffer/console unregistration in my tree using your patch as a base. I'll send this patch to akpm soon. Geert, Is this something that you might need for ps3fb? It should address 2 of your concerns. The only thing is that you will need CONFIG_VT_HW_CONSOLE_BINDING=y. You can default this to 'y' in your platform, or select it.
