  pipe. Thanks to ivandi.
  Also (in the comments) provide a possibly better but untested solution.
  Thanks to SeB.
a/sysvinit-2.90-x86_64-2.txz:  Rebuilt.
  sysvinit-2.90 added an undocumented feature that tries to spawn agetty
  if it sees console= in the kernel command line. Avoiding the debate about
  whether this code belongs in init at all, at least such a change should
  be documented, and probably made opt-in. This patch disables the new
  behavior unless "sysvinit_agetty" is also seen in the kernel command line.
  It seems like this might have been something added for Hurd, and it might
  be wise to stick to what we've got rather than following upstream on this
  particular package. If anyone notices any other odd behavior, please let
  me know. Thanks to shastah.

  When checking for intel_pstate, direct the stderr to /dev/null in case
