Heh. Well, I make absolutely no guarantees about this code other than
"it compiles for me". It won't do VGA stuff and having had a further
prod around there's a lot of cleanup that needs done around the vt1211
code. I've no way of running it or testing it until my kit arrives and
I'm loathe to start making more changes until I've tested at least this
lot to see if anything happens. :)

However, I've put what I've got up in an Arch repository.

tla get noodles at earth.li--pie/freebios--epia-m--2.0 freebios2-epiam
cd freebios2-epiam/targets
 ./buildtarget via/epia-m/Config.filo.lb
cd via/epia-m/epia-m/
make

(You'll need a copy of filo.elf in the same directory as the
freebios2-epiam subdirectory for the make to complete)
