It is commit 087b6cb17df5834d395ab72da3f937380470ba15,
between v5.4.65 and 66.
Perhaps also 0d123a8c64fde433a, cf5a7ded53652c3d63d72, and possible
other stuff.

Great, no more missing data when switching vts.

Btw, wasn't that added in commit aabd31c421ddc730edf6d89c4ed3885e4fca5e30
but turned off by default.

Is there any reason to share the buffer ?

git log drivers/video/console/vgacon.c etc. can give some ideas
what one is up against.
