Despite what nate think about 80 columns, my PDA cannot display more
than between 30-45 characters, depending on the font, so having a knob
for that would be useful in the long term.
It also would allow one to kick the VGA display into 132 columns in
the boot loader and have more of a chance to get more of the boot
process on the screen. syscons already supports parts of this...
There is no reason to hard code 80 into the kernel. Otherwise one
could argue why have stty columns at all :-).
