vt: incomplete initialization of vc_tab_stop
Problem 1 (see patch below):
vc_tab_stop is declared as an array of 8 unsigned ints in struct
vc_data in include/linux/console_struct.h .
In drivers/char/vt.c only 5 of these 8 unsigned ints get initialized
leading to unintended tabulator placement on displays with more than
160 columns text.
Problem 2 (open):
Upcoming displays will have more than 256 columns of text leading to
invalid memory access in drivers/char/vt.c during tabulator
calculations:
if (vc->vc_tab_stop[vc->vc_x >> 5] & (1 << (vc->vc_x & 31)))
break;
