The problem, of course, is that it can't be considered superior to the
current console code by the mainstream kernel developers simply because it
doesn't work on all current Linux ports. Or has some work been done lately
on getting it running on the SPARC, Alpha, MIPS, PPC, etc. ports?

Not a complaint at all; just something to consider when thinking about
strategies for getting the whole EvStack/GGI Console concept accepted.
Once it's working on a handful of other platforms, and the concept is
shown to be solid in a portable way, you'll likely be golden with the
kernel folks.
