I just wonder if it's worth all the trouble, just to clear the fbcon
buffer[0], if the result is that the console output is delayed, possibly
indefinitely.

[0] We don't have any other hardware acceleration for fbcon, so its BO
is only accessed by the CPU and display hardware after this, and has to
be pinned in the CPU visible area of VRAM at all times anyway.
