The real fix that I would prefer is to bolt down the entire kernel
console into UTF-8 mode forever and remove all ISO 2022 related code.
Legacy compatible conversion to from ISO 8859 etc. can be done on-top
with GNU screen, etc. in a far better way.
May be, we should add this (at first as a compile time option at least).
Also the console should now start in UTF-8 mode, such that the drivers
can use at boot time IBM PC block graphics and games like this (for
progress bars, etc.)
