Move consinit() past uvm_init() ;-}

Probably we should classify console devices and split consinit()?
- dumb device working without VM
  (though we still have to consider about bus_space(9))
- complicated framebuffer with large memory
- and others? (arc and ews4800mips set up wired map for framebuffer)

Well, the part I'm talking about can happily live without VM - it may want to use it however so it needs to know wether it can.

have fun
