[Patch] Non-ASCII chars in visor.c messages

[Jan Kasprzak <kas@informatics.muni.cz>]

	Hello,

what is the general opinion on printing non-ASCII characters in kernel
messages? I think kernel should print either pure ASCII messages, or
at least UTF-8-encoded ones.

	The visor.c module contains three messages
with non-ASCII character ("e" with acute above, encoded in
ISO 8859-1, in the name of "Sony Clie'" handheld). I propose the attached
patch, which works in all environments (altough UTF-8 variant would be
IMHO fine as well).

	What do you think about it?
