Since "of" is a very common English word, it is not a good file or

OK. That makes sense. Just a question: why do we still use "of" in
some places
then? Like ofconsole.c. Why isn't it just console.c?
It can be renamed if you think it is important.. I have chosen this
name in case another type of console is required for powerpc/ieee1275.
For example on the old world mac there is no console support in open
firmware AFAIK. But the old world port related things do belong in
powerpc/ieee1275.
That's not true; Old World Macs do have some sort of console support.
The problems are varied: some systems don't have a working video driver
(but if you know what you're doing, you can use the serial ports).
Other systems default to the serial ports, so a user expecting an
interface on their monitor will be disappointed. But technically these
are not console driver issues.
I agree that "ofconsole" is named inconsistently.
