Related question:

If I say CONFIG_PCI_ROM_RUN=1 and CONFIG_CONSOLE_VGA=0,
why does it skip VGA initialization?

The rational here is that I may need a lot of debugging
output, but I do not want it to be directed to the VGA,
because it is almost useless on the VGA and the users are
scared. In the same time I need the VGA to be initialized
so that payloads can use it.

I would make it so that the VGA is initialized if either
flag is set. Anything else is initialized only on
CONFIG_PCI_ROM_RUN.
