Sorry that I didn't respond earlier but there is a significant
problem with WSDISPLAYIO_GETCHAR which is, wscons may not `know'
what character is there.  If you consider the framebuffer devices
which are not backed by a cell-map then what you have at the end
of the day is a bunch of bits on the screen that putchar, copycols,
copyrows, etc, just blit around.
