+1.
I've been reporting back to mizhka@ what he wants off-list.
(First report is on-list. [1])
Please wait MFC for this fixed, and, if possible, report below
to mizhka@.

  *Output of "mode" command of loader console.
  *Video of broken boot process or photo of broken screen.
  *CPU model with integrated video.
  *Which mode worked and which isn't if specified by loader command.
  *Result of `got list` by loader command.
  *Result of `uga list` by loader command.

As no one other than me posts negative comment to the commit mail here,
I've not requested him to revert this. (Requested to do so if someone
else reports problem.)

FYI: For me, boot1 and loader screen are OK, but once kernel starts,
     broken screen. So vt (efifb) driver should be fixed to be aware
     of current (actual) screen mode.
