Hi Greg,

After merging the tty tree, today's linux-next build (x86_64 allmodconfig)
failed like this:

drivers/usb/misc/sisusbvga/sisusb_con.c: In function 'sisusb_console_init':
drivers/usb/misc/sisusbvga/sisusb_con.c:1493:2: error: implicit declaration of function 'take_over_console' [-Werror=implicit-function-declaration]
ret = take_over_console(&sisusb_con, first - 1, last - 1, 0);
^
cc1: some warnings being treated as errors

Caused by commit dc9641895abb ("vt: delete unneeded functions
register_con_driver|take_over_console"). Grep is your friend! There is
more to clean up here:

Documentation/console/console.txt:call take_over_console() will succeed in the takeover regardless of the type
Documentation/console/console.txt: take_over_console() - load and bind driver to console layer
Documentation/console/console.txt:take_over_console() is now broken up into:
Documentation/console/console.txt: or take_over_console(). register_con_driver() will just add the driver to
Documentation/console/console.txt: console. take_over_console(), as it name implies, will also take over (or

Documentation/console/console.txt: register_con_driver()
Documentation/console/console.txt:1. All drivers, except system drivers, must call either register_con_driver()
Documentation/console/console.txt: or take_over_console(). register_con_driver() will just add the driver to

I have used the version of the tty tree from next-20130520 for today.
