Ville complained on irc that his box now bots into a 640x480 console. So I
think we need to add another check to compare the selected mode with the
preferred mode which fbcon would have picke to make sure that htotal and
vtotal match. Timings can obviously differe a bit.

Another regression is that now we don't parse/obey video= cmdline options
any more. This is fairly important since the enable/disable flags won't be
parsed any more so will upset Alan and his T100 again ;-) That itself is a
bit a design goof-up since with CONFIG_FBDEV=n that'll break, too. But
another issue to resolve that.

I haven't looked at the details of how to best solve this, but I guess we
could move the call to driver->initial_config down after all the fbdev
parsing has happened already. Then the driver just fixes things up. The
i915 initial_config logic will be a bit more tricky, but I think it should
work out.

I've dropped this patch for now until we figure this out.
