First, we don't do that from the loader, so it's not available as a console. Second, even if we did do it from the loader, there's a limitation in the system today that console drivers must be compiled into the kernel because the console is selected before external modules are linked into the kernel. Adding it only increases the kernel size by ~14k as well.
