// This is the driver half of what used to be kernel/dev/vga.c. That file was
// three things at once -- the owner of the framebuffer, a bitmap drawing
// library, and the text console -- and only the first is a driver. The other
// two are now kernel/dev/gfx.c and do not name any driver at all, so the crash
// screen and the console draw on whatever hardware is bound rather than on
// this one by name. See include/gfx.h.
//
// What stays here is everything that knows *where the pixels are*: the mode the
// loader programmed and handed over in the boot block, the aperture it lives
// in, and the display class vtable that presents all of it as one of possibly
// several displays.
