    drivers/xgi: Fix legacy VGA text mode initialization
    
    TEST: Booted KFSN4-DRE with on-board XGI Volari Z9s
    Initial text from coreboot appeared, and the Linux
    console was displayed immediately at the start of
    kernel initialization.  After boot was complete
    the text mode console continued to behave normally.
    
    SeaBIOS does not currently make use of the legacy
    VGA text-mode display.
