 of places. So push the console lock out to the callers of set_con2fb_map,

 this means fbmem and switcheroo needed to take the lock around the fb notifier
 entry points that lead to this.

 This should fix the efifb regression seen by Maarten.

Linus might not be taking this for 3.8 because of lack of testing, but
that doesn't mean the problems don't exist in 3.8 (and older).  Maybe
throw a CC for stable on the patch?  That way it works its way back when
it does get merged.

What about throwing a WARN_CONSOLE_UNLOCKED(); in here to make sure
this new rule is obeyed?
