be put into a boot_item in frame_buffer_console_init().
* The VESA driver now supports gettings the EDID information as well; this
is necessary now, since the app_server no longer takes over the mode the
boot loader had chosen.
* Note, we might want to do this via vm86 instead in the future, and remove
the kernel part again.

* Use vm86 mode to call the VESA BIOS to do the actual mode switching by
providing an ioctl in the vesa driver.
* Fix vm86.h.

* In grayscale mode, the AccelerantHWInterface now sets the palette correctly.
* HWInterface now has a fVGADevice set by AccelerantHWInterface which will be used
to talk to the VESA driver.
* Completed planar blitting for all 4 planes; we now have a perfect 16 color
grayscale mode when you choose "Standard VGA mode" in the boot loader with
an unsupported graphics card (such as in Qemu).

has to care about refresh rates. Also changed Screen::GetMode() (formerly
Resolution()) to return all interesting values, so that hopefully no one
will call it anymore like RootLayer::SetScreens() did.
Greatly improved the horrible RootLayer::SetScreens().
The app_server is now able to deal with failing HWInterface::SetMode() calls;
in this case, it will fall back to the hardware's current mode. This now
also works correctly in combination with the vesa driver, so that you don't
have to compile the app_server with the same resolution you boot in anymore.
SetMode() now always returns if it succeeded or not.
Renamed RootLayer::fScreenXYResolution to fScreenWidth/Height respectively.
Removed the useless DisplayDriver::DisplayMode() method.
Added B_GET_DISPLAY_MODE to the required accelerant hooks.
Some minor cleanup.

it doesn't really do anything, it just passes the initial frame buffer
on to the app_server).
While it seems to work on real hardware (if you set the video mode to
640x480x32, app_server restriction), under Bochs, the app_server crashes.
