Liav A. fdff05cc97 Kernel+Userland: Simplify minor number allocation for virtual consoles ...

There is simply no advantage with putting both virtual console devices
and serial TTY devices on the same major number.

Putting them on separate major numbers greatly simplifies the allocation
mechanism on the DeviceMapper code, because it no longer needs to
calculate offsets of minor numbers, and should start from number 0 to
theoretically infinite amount of device nodes.
