Hello,

I think I will take Randy's patch instead.  The patch above defines 
screen_info, but I am not sure if it has been used or if anyone has got 
vga consoles working on openrisc.

We can always add vga console support if someone has the hardware and can 
test it. It will be harder to take it away.
