Right, VT_GETSTATE gives a bitmask which only contains 16 bits, that's the "vcs.v_active" just a few lines above the change that I did apparently. However, it also seems that we do not need to rely on v_state. /dev/vcsN is present if it is active, and is absent when deallocated -- at least when /dev is dynamically managed, which I figure might be a requirement for systemd.
