Is there any _particular_ reason why this is #define'd to (0xd0)
in /sys/dev/syscons/syscons.c?

Nearly everyone who wants to set up their national locale
needs to recompile the kernel, since some important characters
are hidden under mouse cursor.

I sure that at least these are affected:

(from /usr/share/syscons/font)

iso-8859-2-8x16.fnt     iso02-8x8.fnt           koi8-r-8x8.fnt
iso02-8x14.fnt          koi8-r-8x14.fnt         koi8-rb-8x16.fnt
iso02-8x16.fnt          koi8-r-8x16.fnt         koi8-rc-8x16.fnt

Will changing it to 0x08 break anything?
