I think it has but the configuration options have different names. From
my .config file:
#
# S/390 character device drivers
#
CONFIG_TN3270=y
CONFIG_TN3270_TTY=y
# CONFIG_TN3270_FS is not set
CONFIG_TN3270_CONSOLE=y
CONFIG_TN3215=y
CONFIG_TN3215_CONSOLE=y
CONFIG_CCW_CONSOLE=y
CONFIG_SCLP_TTY=y
CONFIG_SCLP_CONSOLE=y
CONFIG_SCLP_VT220_TTY=y
CONFIG_SCLP_VT220_CONSOLE=y
Chapter 19 in the Linux Device Driver manual (SC33-8289-02) has information
but is not clear on 3270 consoles. I am going to experiment.
