Right now, there's no hook in the fbcon code for this AFAIK. On second
thought, all it should take is to clear cursor_on in fbcon.c before sleep
(i.e. by fbcon_cursor(CM_ERASE), but that won't tell you if the cursor was
already erased). Adding new hooks to the consw struct is a no-no, perhaps.
Adding a CM_PAUSE / CM_RESUME feature to fbcon_cursor might be sufficient.
