Subject: vt: do not clear UTF when resetting console
From: "Antonino A. Daplas" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Resetting the console, either by ANSI escape sequences or by the reset
utility, will drop the console back to legacy (non-UTF-8) mode. Fix this
by leaving the field vc_data.vc_utf untouched in reset_terminal(). In
addition, a global variable (default_utf8) which defines system-wide UTF-8
setting is created. This variable can be adjusted via sysfs.
This is based from patches by Jan Engelhardt and Paul LeoNerd Evans.
