CVS updates/VGA mode setting

[James S. <jsi...@ac...>]

The CVS has been brought into sync with test7. Our CVS is still in the
ruby style verse what is in the current linus tree. It would be a pain to
re order everything and as Vojtech pointed out its to early to judge what
will happen. It will be settled when 2.5.X comes out.

The second thing which I forgot to mention. I also am going to be working
on getting vgacon to set the mode independent of using anything like the
BIOS. This will allow more portablity and make it more multihead friendly. 
Thsi will also allow the ability to move between different console drivers
like fbcon and vgacon. With the current tree you can only go from vgacon
to fbcon. I plan to make the reverse true. This will also allow recovery
when userland apps don't reset the hardware properly. Now vagcon can reset
the hardware it's self. 

MS: (n) 1. A debilitating and surprisingly widespread affliction that
renders the sufferer barely able to perform the simplest task. 2. A disease.
