The previous description was not accurate. Looking at the code,
SERIAL_CONSOLES_CHECK does not act like SERIAL_CONSOLES, as it will not
add consoles to enable but only check and disable consoles defined by
SERIAL_CONSOLES. Also, the previous patch adds aliasing functionality
that needed to be documented.
