I mmap'd /dev/vc-mem, searched for the instruction and replaced it, but i'll leave that as an exercise to the reader. I don't want people blaming me if their Pi decides to halt and catch fire.

Does this need to be reapplied every time at boot? Guessing yes...



Yes. Maybe it's theoretically possible to add something to a modifiable part of the eeprom, but that's beyond what I can do in my spare time.
