That is OK. I will try to test it then on LPAR and find someone that will test
it on z/VM. Please remove the cc stable as I want to have this tested for
a while. Hopefully it only affects the ttysclp0 console, which is not the
default console for z/VM and LPAR. We would at least need to change the
device driver and commands documentation. Anything else?
