I took a dump and had a look. It looks that this message thing is indeed not
the problem. Our early_put_chars method was marked as __init and the old code
replaced the put_chars method quickly enough to never make a problem.
Removing the __init from early_put_chars solved this kernel bug, but the tty
performance is now horribly slow. I will test, if the put_chars method is
replaced at all.
