Actually, it might be useful to display console number there (as an aid
to remembering which one is on), but also two other things (subdivide
the reserved line into three parts): an area reserved for a Trusted Solaris
Extensions window label (yes, even on console mode, at least if there is a
possibility that different virtual consoles could be assigned to different
zones), and an area reserved for a user-settable title (like one can have
in various terminal emulators via an escape sequence).
If the line was used for the special purpose, the tty window rows
(struct winsize member ws_row?) should be reduced by one accordingly.
If a TSX label was set (which shouldn't be possible by the user), the
line would be enabled automatically.
