CONFIG_HW_CONSOLE selects vt.c; without the stuff pulled by CONFIG_VT it
will not build. Normally we get both in drivers/char/Kconfig and there
HW_CONSOLE depends on VT. sparc64 does not pull drivers/char/Kconfig
and has that sutff in arch/sparc64/Kconfig instead. However, it forgets
to add the same dependency. As the result, turning VT off [which is
possible] will end up with broken build. For no good reason...

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.
Let it rip!
