Ogra/Clint - the attached job only starts a single getty. A coupe of
questions...

1) Is there any value in allowing multiple devices? I've already got a
modified version of the job to handle that using instances (planned for
tty2-4 if for nothing else).

2) The job takes the *first* 'valid' console= argument. According to the
kernel docs...

        You can specify multiple console= options on the kernel command line.
        Output will appear on all of them. The last device will be used when
        you open /dev/console.

    So, maybe we should follow that convention and change the job to use
the last specified console= device?
