This series fixes possible out-of-bound memory accesses when users trigger
screen resolutions changes with invalid input parameters, e.g. reconfigures
screen which is smaller than the current font size, or if the virtual screen
size is smaller than the physical screen size.

v4:
- merged former patch #2 and #3
- added more Reviewed-by
- new patch #2 needs more testing. Note added to comit message that
  another patch needs to be backport as well.

Helge Deller (3):
  fbcon: Disallow setting font bigger than screen size
  fbcon: Prevent that screen size is smaller than font size
  fbmem: Prevent invalid virtual screen sizes
