Another quick look at the source shows a couple of things.

OK, I give up. It seems this is buried too deep to be cleaned up right now.
Do you still feel its allocation should be coded around? I quickly re-submit a patch with the VFD movement removed. If needed I can attempt to clean up the console_setfile and place in boot_command.c which currently needs it...but I defiantly am not in a position to test all effected ports.
No, please make it work as is. The syscall cleanup will be another issue, some time later.
...you are amazingly responsive for someone seven hours ahead...
Ummm... ahead? No, I feel I must be weeks behind ... ;-)
