Re: [Xen-devel] [RFC] support console resolutions better than 80x25

Attached. Jan
This seems okay to me in principle. If it's cleaned up a bit then
there's no reason not to take it -- and getting out of 80x25 mode is
very desirable!
A few thoughts:
* Could we put all the vga-related stuff in drivers/char/vga
* Also move the existing vga-specific code into its own file in
drivers/char/vga
* Are the vga files you add pulled from some other project (svgalib)?
If so, are they heavily modified or is it plausible for us to track and
port changes from that other project?
* Maybe add a feature or version field to the console_info structure
so we can extend it in future.
* Would the test in linux be better as if (SIF_INITDOMAIN &&
console_evtchn) rather than a somehat arbitrary comparsion against a
sizeof()?
