Ok,
Checking through the kernel sources, the EINVAL will be returned from
the ioctl(), making kbd-chooser (using the same logic as woody, BTW)
decide that there is no serial console present.
Is a serial console, etc mentioned on the kernel commandline
(/proc/cmdline)? Can we improve the autodetection code that way?
