The console is normally one particular keyboard (or possibly all of them),
and /dev/fb0 in case of graphical console. Other framebuffers are
not the primary console.

I am not sure how this can be achievable, assuming that udev is responsible for loading framebuffer modules. Since it loads them in parallel, the registration order is essentially random. See the following Debian bugs about other subsystems:
