[oe] [RFC][PATCH] Make initscripts banner stop trying to be smart

I ran into this on my boards that start out with the really minimal
(console and null only) set of dev nodes prior to udev running.  The
banner script looks around for what might be the vtmaster (aka what's
got console) to say that we're booting.  But that's where things go by
default anyhow.  This would also let slugos use the normal version, if
they want.
