So, to summarize:

If we start from initramfs 
	=> it takes tty2
		=> directfb looses keyboard
			=> keyboard thread goes haywire

Solutions
1) Make keyboard thread shed some cycles.
	=> Drawback: we don't have keyoard

2) Make directfb use another tty.
	-> Drawback: ?

Is this summary correct?

Why don't we do solution 2?
