fbdev doesn't (and can't by ioctl interface design) response to hotplug,
so the framebuffer console will not adapt to window resizes anyway.  So
I through just going with 1024x768 for the framebuffer console (like all
other qemu kms drivers) is fine.

We can change it it you prefer, we'll need to wait for the display_info
response then and move fbdev init down a few lines.

cheers,
