 I suppose you do not have to use it.  I cannot be satisfied with the 
implementation for the use by the DECstation either, so I am going to 
revive the old code as soon as I upgrade my setup. ;-)  Feel free to use 
the old version of arch/mips/dec/prom/console.c as a template.

 Don't fix what isn't broken...
