I'll push the other 3 patches from this series.  For this patch,
I wonder why you create set_ishybrid_and_switch_to_pcon while
at the same time define a macro CHK_CONSOLE_ACCESS with identical
functionality.

Suggestion: Only define set_ishybrid_and_switch_to_pcon() as
inline function (probably in winsup.h) and use only this througout.


Thanks,
Corinna
