[PATCH] VGA to fbcon fix.

Currently when going from vgacon to fbcon the VT screenbuffer are often
different sizes.  In the case when they are different sizes a new VT
screenbuffer is allocated and the contents are copied into the new buffer.

Currently the amount copied from VGA text memory to the new screenbuf is
the size of the framebuffer console.  If the framebuffer console new VT
screen buffer is greater than the VGA text memory size then we get some of
the VGA BIOS contents as well.

This patch will only allow you to copy up to the size of VGA text memory
now.  The rest is filled with erase characters.
