This new VT mode (VT_PROCESS_AUTO) does everything that VT_PROCESS does except that it doesn't wait for a VT_RELDISP ioctl before switching away from a VT with that mode. If the X server eventually uses this new mode, debugging and crash recovery should become easier. This is because even when currently in the VT of a frozen X server it would still be possible to switch out by doing SysRq-r and then CTRL-<number of a text vt>, sshing in and doing chvt <number of a text vt>, or any other method of VT switching. The general concensus on #xorg-devel seems to be that it should be safe to use this with X now that we have KMS. This also moves the VT_ACKACQ define to a more appropriate place, for clarity's sake.
