Our chvt() is in pyrex, and all it does is call ioctl() on
/dev/console. If there's a better way to call ioctl() then we can get
rid of pyrex in our initramfs completely.

In the meantime, I am following the approach already in use in our
initramfs, and Hal Murray's posted in private a very nice pyrex
wrapper around those two that I plan to test/merge/use today.

cheers,
