I had a talk with Julio on IRC, and suggested that most of the stuff in
the kernel in OpenBSD's implementation simply didn't need to be there.

The solution that he came up with (correct me if I'm wrong, Julio!) is to
only add a getchar ioctl to the wsdisplay driver. Everything else could be
done in user space simply by getchar, modify, putchar. The copy/paste
buffer could easily be done in userspace instead of the kernel as well.
