It doesn't work right with virtual consoles.  I think it is too simple
to work right.  If you use it only for ttyv0, then the devices that it
controls may be inaccessible when you're logged in to another console
(e.g., root on ttyv0, bde on ttyv1).  If you use it for all consoles,
then the ownerships get blown away when you login to a different console
(e.g., bde on ttyv0, root on ttyv1).
