gured to go to a video card, for example, you cannot get your kernel console, oops messages, etc... on your serial port or hypervisor console, which would be handy to deal with oopses. This fixes it by checking if hvc_console.flags & CON_ENABLED is set when registering a new dynamic console, and if not, redo the index check and re-register the console if the index matches, allowing console=hvcN to work.
