    vt_vga: check if VGA is available from ACPI FADT table

    On x86 the IA-PC Boot Flags in the FADT can signal whether VGA is
    available or not.

In Linux presence of the the flag sets x86_platform.legacy.no_vga =3D 1 whi=
ch is
used in only one place, arch/x86/xen/enlighten_hvm.c xen_hvm_guest_late_ini=
t()

In particular as far as I can tell it does not appear to control whether the
VGA console is probed or not. It seems there is a lot of firmware with brok=
en
ACPI tables that incorrectly sets this flag and it may be better to ignore =
it.
Roger, is it possible that the flag could be used only w/ Xen?
