[RFC] Possible ELKS bug fixes in "nanox" project

This project is based on ELKS:
http://code.google.com/p/nanox/source/browse/#svn%2Ftrunk

There are some bug fixes and feature improvements within that I'm 
interested in adding to the ELKS code base, but I'd like for others on 
the list to review them first. Some of the fixes are already applied in 
Git, but others are not, and it also appears that the individual who 
maintained this project wrote some direct console code which could be 
helpful...assuming it works and doesn't break other things.

Can someone test some of these changes? Preferably on real hardware if 
possible.

Thanks in advance.
